## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM - Structure specifying tensor creation parameters.

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_ARM_tensors
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM {
        VkStructureType                       sType;
        const void*                           pNext;
        VkTensorCreateFlagsARM                flags;
        const VkTensorDescriptionARM*         pDescription;
        VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits    handleType;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkTensorCreateFlagBitsARM describing additional parameters of the tensor, corresponding to VkTensorCreateInfoARM::`flags`.

- `pDescription` is a VkTensorDescriptionARM structure describing the tensor, corresponding to VkTensorCreateInfoARM::`pDescription`.

- `handleType` is a VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits value specifying the external memory handle type for which capabilities will be returned.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_EXTERNAL_TENSOR_INFO_ARM

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM-flags-parameter
  `flags` must be a valid combination of VkTensorCreateFlagBitsARM values

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM-pDescription-parameter
  `pDescription` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkTensorDescriptionARM structure

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExternalTensorInfoARM-handleType-parameter
  `handleType` must be a valid VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits value
