Function Prototype

vkGetMemoryFdPropertiesKHR

Get Properties of External Memory File Descriptors

POSIX file descriptor memory handles compatible with Vulkan may also be created by non-Vulkan APIs using methods beyond the scope of this specification. To determine the correct parameters to use when importing such handles, call:

VkResult vkGetMemoryFdPropertiesKHR(
    VkDevice device,
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits handleType,
    int fd,
    VkMemoryFdPropertiesKHR* pMemoryFdProperties);
  • device is the logical device that will be importing fd.
  • handleType is a VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits value specifying the type of the handle fd.
  • fd is the handle which will be imported.
  • pMemoryFdProperties is a pointer to a VkMemoryFdPropertiesKHR structure in which the properties of the handle fd are returned.

Valid Usage

VUID-vkGetMemoryFdPropertiesKHR-fd-00673

fd must point to a valid POSIX file descriptor memory handle

VUID-vkGetMemoryFdPropertiesKHR-handleType-00674

handleType must not be VK_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_HANDLE_TYPE_OPAQUE_FD_BIT
