Create a new fence object

To create a fence, call:

VkResult vkCreateFence(
    VkDevice device,
    const VkFenceCreateInfo* pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
    VkFence* pFence);
  • device is the logical device that creates the fence.
  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkFenceCreateInfo structure containing information about how the fence is to be created.
  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.
  • pFence is a pointer to a handle in which the resulting fence object is returned.
