vkGetPhysicalDeviceExternalImageFormatPropertiesNV

To determine the image capabilities compatible with an external memory handle type, call:

VkResult vkGetPhysicalDeviceExternalImageFormatPropertiesNV(
    VkPhysicalDevice physicalDevice,
    VkFormat format,
    VkImageType type,
    VkImageTiling tiling,
    VkImageUsageFlags usage,
    VkImageCreateFlags flags,
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagsNV externalHandleType,
    VkExternalImageFormatPropertiesNV* pExternalImageFormatProperties);

• physicalDevice is the physical device from which to query the image capabilities
• format is the image format, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::format.
• type is the image type, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::imageType.
• tiling is the image tiling, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::tiling.
• usage is the intended usage of the image, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::usage.
• flags is a bitmask describing additional parameters of the image, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::flags.
• externalHandleType is either one of the bits from VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV, or 0.
• pExternalImageFormatProperties is a pointer to a VkExternalImageFormatPropertiesNV structure in which capabilities are returned.

If externalHandleType is 0, pExternalImageFormatProperties→imageFormatProperties will return the same values as a call to vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties, and the other members of pExternalImageFormatProperties will all be 0. Otherwise, they are filled in as described for VkExternalImageFormatPropertiesNV.
