VkImportMetalTextureInfoEXT

To import one or more existing Metal MTLTexture objects to underlie a VkImage object, include one or more VkImportMetalTextureInfoEXT structures in the pNext chain of the VkImageCreateInfo structure in a vkCreateImage command.

The VkImportMetalTextureInfoEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkImportMetalTextureInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkImageAspectFlagBits plane;
    MTLTexture_id mtlTexture;
} VkImportMetalTextureInfoEXT;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• plane specifies the plane of the VkImage that the id<MTLTexture> object should be attached to.
• mtlTexture is a the Metal id<MTLTexture> object that is to underlie the VkImage plane.

The pNext chain must include one VkImportMetalTextureInfoEXT structure for each plane in the VkImage. The application must ensure that the configuration of the Metal id<MTLTexture> objects are compatible with the configuration of the VkImage. Failure to do so results in undefined: behavior.
