# vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment - Query the current commitment for a VkDeviceMemory

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To determine the amount of lazily-allocated memory that is currently committed for a memory object, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    void vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkDeviceMemory                              memory,
        VkDeviceSize*                               pCommittedMemoryInBytes);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that owns the memory.

- `memory` is the memory object being queried.

- `pCommittedMemoryInBytes` is a pointer to a VkDeviceSize value in which the number of bytes currently committed is returned, on success.

## Description

The implementation may update the commitment at any time, and the value returned by this query may be out of date.

The implementation guarantees to allocate any committed memory from the `heapIndex` indicated by the memory type that the memory object was created with.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment-memory-00690
  `memory` must have been created with a memory type that reports VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment-memory-parameter
  `memory` must be a valid VkDeviceMemory handle

- VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment-pCommittedMemoryInBytes-parameter
  `pCommittedMemoryInBytes` must be a valid pointer to a VkDeviceSize value

- VUID-vkGetDeviceMemoryCommitment-memory-parent
  `memory` must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`
