VkExportMetalBufferInfoEXT

Structure that identifies a VkDeviceMemory object and corresponding Metal MTLBuffer object

To export the Metal MTLBuffer object underlying a VkDeviceMemory object, include a VkExportMetalBufferInfoEXT structure in the pNext chain of the pMetalObjectsInfo parameter of a vkExportMetalObjectsEXT call.

The VkExportMetalBufferInfoEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkExportMetalBufferInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkDeviceMemory memory;
    MTLBuffer_id mtlBuffer;
} VkExportMetalBufferInfoEXT;
  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • memory is a VkDeviceMemory.
  • mtlBuffer is the Metal id<MTLBuffer> object underlying the VkDeviceMemory object in memory. The implementation will return the MTLBuffer in this member, or it will return NULL if no MTLBuffer could be found underlying the VkDeviceMemory object.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkExportMetalBufferInfoEXT-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXPORT_METAL_BUFFER_INFO_EXT
