# vkGetMemoryZirconHandleFUCHSIA(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetMemoryZirconHandleFUCHSIA - Get a Zircon handle for an external memory object

## C Specification

To export device memory as a Zircon handle that can be used by another instance, device, or process, retrieve the handle to the VkDeviceMemory using the command:

    // Provided by VK_FUCHSIA_external_memory
    VkResult vkGetMemoryZirconHandleFUCHSIA(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkMemoryGetZirconHandleInfoFUCHSIA*   pGetZirconHandleInfo,
        zx_handle_t*                                pZirconHandle);

## Parameters

- `device` is the VkDevice.

- `pGetZirconHandleInfo` is a pointer to a VkMemoryGetZirconHandleInfoFUCHSIA structure.

- `pZirconHandle` is a pointer to a `zx_handle_t` which holds the resulting Zircon handle.

## Description
