# vkCreateTensorARM(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkCreateTensorARM - Create a new tensor object

## C Specification

To create tensors, call:

    // Provided by VK_ARM_tensors
    VkResult vkCreateTensorARM(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkTensorCreateInfoARM*                pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkTensorARM*                                pTensor);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that creates the tensor.

- `pCreateInfo` is a pointer to a VkTensorCreateInfoARM structure containing parameters to be used to create the tensor.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

- `pTensor` is a pointer to a VkTensorARM handle in which the resulting tensor object is returned.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkCreateTensorARM-tensors-09832
  The `tensors` feature must be enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkCreateTensorARM-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkCreateTensorARM-pCreateInfo-parameter
  `pCreateInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkTensorCreateInfoARM structure

- VUID-vkCreateTensorARM-pAllocator-parameter
  If `pAllocator` is not `NULL`, `pAllocator` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

- VUID-vkCreateTensorARM-pTensor-parameter
  `pTensor` must be a valid pointer to a VkTensorARM handle

- VUID-vkCreateTensorARM-device-queuecount
  The device must have been created with at least `1` queue

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

  - VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

  - VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

  - VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  - VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN

  - VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED
