VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR - Structure describing physical device properties of a layered Vulkan implementation underneath the Vulkan physical device

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance7
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR {
        VkStructureType                sType;
        void*                          pNext;
        VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2    properties;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `properties` is a VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 in which properties of the underlying layered Vulkan implementation are returned.

## Description

The implementation must zero-fill the contents of `properties.properties.limits` and `properties.properties.sparseProperties`.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR-pNext-10011
  Only VkPhysicalDeviceDriverProperties and VkPhysicalDeviceIDProperties are allowed in the `pNext` chain of `properties`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiVulkanPropertiesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_LAYERED_API_VULKAN_PROPERTIES_KHR

Structure Chaining
