VkExternalComputeQueueDeviceCreateInfoNV(3)

# VkExternalComputeQueueDeviceCreateInfoNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkExternalComputeQueueDeviceCreateInfoNV - Structure specifying information about external compute queues relevant to device creation

## C Specification

The `VkExternalComputeQueueDeviceCreateInfoNV` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NV_external_compute_queue
    typedef struct VkExternalComputeQueueDeviceCreateInfoNV {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        uint32_t           reservedExternalQueues;
    } VkExternalComputeQueueDeviceCreateInfoNV;

## Members

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

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

- `reservedExternalQueues` is the maximum number of external queues an application can create at once. This must be less than or equal to the `maxExternalQueues` value reported by VkPhysicalDeviceExternalComputeQueuePropertiesNV

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkExternalComputeQueueDeviceCreateInfoNV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXTERNAL_COMPUTE_QUEUE_DEVICE_CREATE_INFO_NV

Structure Chaining
