vkGetPhysicalDeviceExternalFenceProperties - Function for querying external fence handle capabilities.

Parameters

• physicalDevice is the physical device from which to query the fence capabilities.

• pExternalFenceInfo is a pointer to a PhysicalDeviceExternalFenceInfo structure describing the parameters that would be consumed by createFence.
• pExternalFenceProperties is a pointer to a ExternalFenceProperties structure in which capabilities are returned.

VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFenceInfo - Structure specifying fence creation parameters.

Description

Note

Handles of type EXTERNAL_FENCE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT generated by the implementation may represent either Linux Sync Files or Android Fences at the implementation’s discretion. Applications should only use operations defined for both types of file descriptors, unless they know via means external to Vulkan the type of the file descriptor, or are prepared to deal with the system-defined operation failures resulting from using the wrong type.

VkExternalFenceProperties - Structure describing supported external fence handle features

Description

If handleType is not supported by the implementation, then ExternalFenceProperties::externalFenceFeatures will be set to zero.

VkStructureType - Vulkan structure types (stype)

Description

Each value corresponds to a particular structure with a sType member with a matching name. As a general rule, the name of each StructureType value is obtained by taking the name of the structure, stripping the leading Vk, prefixing each capital letter with _, converting the entire resulting string to upper case, and prefixing it with VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_. For example, structures of type ImageCreateInfo correspond to a StructureType of STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_CREATE_INFO, and thus its sType member must equal that when it is passed to the API.

The values STRUCTURE_TYPE_LOADER_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO and STRUCTURE_TYPE_LOADER_DEVICE_CREATE_INFO are reserved for internal use by the loader, and do not have corresponding Vulkan structures in this Specification.
