vkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR

To import a semaphore payload from a Windows handle, call:

VkResult vkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(
    VkDevice device,
    const VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR* pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo);

• device is the logical device that created the semaphore.
• pImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfo is a pointer to a VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR structure specifying the semaphore and import parameters.

Importing a semaphore payload from Windows handles does not transfer ownership of the handle to the Vulkan implementation. For handle types defined as NT handles, the application must release ownership using the CloseHandle system call when the handle is no longer needed.

Applications can import the same semaphore payload into multiple instances of Vulkan, into the same instance from which it was exported, and multiple times into a given Vulkan instance.
