# VkSwapchainFlagsSurfaceCapabilitiesEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkSwapchainFlagsSurfaceCapabilitiesEXT - Structure describing supported swapchain create flags for a surface

## C Specification

The `VkSwapchainFlagsSurfaceCapabilitiesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_multisampled_render_to_swapchain
    typedef struct VkSwapchainFlagsSurfaceCapabilitiesEXT {
        VkStructureType              sType;
        void*                        pNext;
        VkSwapchainCreateFlagsKHR    swapchainSupportedFlags;
    } VkSwapchainFlagsSurfaceCapabilitiesEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `swapchainSupportedFlags` is a bitmask of VkSwapchainCreateFlagsKHR representing the supported flags in VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR when creating a swapchain for the surface on the specified device. If a VkSurfacePresentModeKHR structure is included in the `pNext` chain of `pSurfaceInfo` in vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilities2KHR, this value represents the supported flags for the specified present mode and those compatible with it as returned in VkSurfacePresentModeCompatibilityKHR.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkSwapchainFlagsSurfaceCapabilitiesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SWAPCHAIN_FLAGS_SURFACE_CAPABILITIES_EXT
