VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo

The VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkBufferCreateFlags flags;
    VkBufferUsageFlags usage;
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits handleType;
} VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo;

or the equivalent

typedef VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfoKHR;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• flags is a bitmask of VkBufferCreateFlagBits describing additional parameters of the buffer, corresponding to VkBufferCreateInfo::flags.
• usage is a bitmask of VkBufferUsageFlagBits describing the intended usage of the buffer, corresponding to VkBufferCreateInfo::usage.
• handleType is a VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits value specifying the memory handle type that will be used with the memory associated with the buffer.

Only usage flags representable in VkBufferUsageFlagBits are returned in this structure’s usage. If the pNext chain includes a VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR structure, all usage flags of the buffer are returned in VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfoKHR::usage.
