VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR - Structure describing indirect copy features supported by an implementation

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_copy_memory_indirect
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           indirectMemoryCopy;
        VkBool32           indirectMemoryToImageCopy;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR;

## Members

This structure describes the following features:

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `indirectMemoryCopy` indicates whether indirect memory to memory copies are supported.

- `indirectMemoryToImageCopy` indicates whether indirect memory to image copies are supported.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectFeaturesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_COPY_MEMORY_INDIRECT_FEATURES_KHR

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo

  - VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
