# VkClusterAccelerationStructureIndexFormatFlagBitsNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkClusterAccelerationStructureIndexFormatFlagBitsNV - Bits specifying the index type in the index buffer

## C Specification

Bits that can be set in VkClusterAccelerationStructureBuildTriangleClusterInfoNV::`indexType`, VkClusterAccelerationStructureBuildTriangleClusterInfoNV::`opacityMicromapIndexType`, VkClusterAccelerationStructureBuildTriangleClusterTemplateInfoNV::`indexType` and VkClusterAccelerationStructureBuildTriangleClusterTemplateInfoNV::`opacityMicromapIndexType` specifying the index type is one of:

    // Provided by VK_NV_cluster_acceleration_structure
    typedef enum VkClusterAccelerationStructureIndexFormatFlagBitsNV {
        VK_CLUSTER_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_INDEX_FORMAT_8BIT_NV = 0x00000001,
        VK_CLUSTER_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_INDEX_FORMAT_16BIT_NV = 0x00000002,
        VK_CLUSTER_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_INDEX_FORMAT_32BIT_NV = 0x00000004,
    } VkClusterAccelerationStructureIndexFormatFlagBitsNV;

## Description

- VK_CLUSTER_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_INDEX_FORMAT_8BIT_NV specifies that 8-bit indices will be used.

- VK_CLUSTER_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_INDEX_FORMAT_16BIT_NV specifies that 16-bit indices will be used.

- VK_CLUSTER_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_INDEX_FORMAT_32BIT_NV specifies that 32-bit indices will be used.
