VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR - Structure specifying the codec video format

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_queue
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType      sType;
        const void*          pNext;
        VkImageUsageFlags    imageUsage;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `imageUsage` is a bitmask of VkImageUsageFlagBits specifying the intended usage of the video images.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VIDEO_FORMAT_INFO_KHR

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkImageUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR or VkVideoProfileListInfoKHR

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR-sType-unique
  The `sType` value of each structure in the `pNext` chain must be unique

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR-imageUsage-parameter
  `imageUsage` must be a valid combination of VkImageUsageFlagBits values

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR-imageUsage-requiredbitmask
  `imageUsage` must not be `0`
