VkExternalMemoryProperties

The VkExternalMemoryProperties structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkExternalMemoryProperties {
    VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlags externalMemoryFeatures;
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlags exportFromImportedHandleTypes;
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlags compatibleHandleTypes;
} VkExternalMemoryProperties;

or the equivalent

typedef VkExternalMemoryProperties VkExternalMemoryPropertiesKHR;

• externalMemoryFeatures is a bitmask of VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBits specifying the features of handleType.
• exportFromImportedHandleTypes is a bitmask of VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits specifying which types of imported handle handleType can be exported from.
• compatibleHandleTypes is a bitmask of VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits specifying handle types which can be specified at the same time as handleType when creating an image compatible with external memory.

compatibleHandleTypes must include at least handleType. Inclusion of a handle type in compatibleHandleTypes does not imply the values returned in VkImageFormatProperties2 will be the same when VkPhysicalDeviceExternalImageFormatInfo::handleType is set to that type. The application is responsible for querying the capabilities of all handle types intended for concurrent use in a single image and intersecting them to obtain the compatible set of capabilities.
