C Specification
The set of usages for the created image view can be restricted compared to
the parent image’s usage flags by adding a
VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo structure to the pNext chain of
VkImageViewCreateInfo.
The VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo {
VkStructureType sType;
const void* pNext;
VkImageUsageFlags usage;
} VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo;
or the equivalent
// Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance2
typedef VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo VkImageViewUsageCreateInfoKHR;
Members
-
sTypeis a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNextisNULLor a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
usageis a bitmask of VkImageUsageFlagBits specifying allowed usages of the image view.
Description
When this structure is chained to VkImageViewCreateInfo the
usage field overrides the implicit usage parameter inherited
from image creation time and its value is used instead for the purposes of
determining the valid usage conditions of VkImageViewCreateInfo.
