vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilities2KHR - Reports capabilities of a surface on a physical device

Parameters

• physicalDevice is the physical device that will be associated with the swapchain to be created, as described for createSwapchainKHR.

• pSurfaceInfo is a pointer to a PhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR structure describing the surface and other fixed parameters that would be consumed by createSwapchainKHR.
• pSurfaceCapabilities is a pointer to a SurfaceCapabilities2KHR structure in which the capabilities are returned.

Description

getPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilities2KHR behaves similarly to getPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR, with the ability to specify extended inputs via chained input structures, and to return extended information via chained output structures.

Valid Usage

• If a SurfaceCapabilitiesFullScreenExclusiveEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of pSurfaceCapabilities, a SurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT structure must be included in the pNext chain of pSurfaceInfo.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• physicalDevice must be a valid PhysicalDevice handle

• pSurfaceInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid PhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR structure
• pSurfaceCapabilities must be a valid pointer to a SurfaceCapabilities2KHR structure

Return Codes

Success

• SUCCESS

Failure

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
• ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR

vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormats2KHR - Query color formats supported by surface

Parameters

• physicalDevice is the physical device that will be associated with the swapchain to be created, as described for createSwapchainKHR.

• pSurfaceInfo is a pointer to a PhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR structure describing the surface and other fixed parameters that would be consumed by createSwapchainKHR.
• pSurfaceFormatCount is a pointer to an integer related to the number of format tuples available or queried, as described below.
• pSurfaceFormats is either NULL or a pointer to an array of SurfaceFormat2KHR structures.

Description

getPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormats2KHR behaves similarly to getPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR, with the ability to be extended via pNext chains.

If pSurfaceFormats is NULL, then the number of format tuples supported for the given surface is returned in pSurfaceFormatCount. Otherwise, pSurfaceFormatCount must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the pSurfaceFormats array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pSurfaceFormats. If the value of pSurfaceFormatCount is less than the number of format tuples supported, at most pSurfaceFormatCount structures will be written. If pSurfaceFormatCount is smaller than the number of format tuples supported for the surface parameters described in pSurfaceInfo, INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of SUCCESS to indicate that not all the available values were returned.

Valid Usage

• pSurfaceInfo->surface must be supported by physicalDevice, as reported by getPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR or an equivalent platform-specific mechanism.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• physicalDevice must be a valid PhysicalDevice handle

• pSurfaceInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid PhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR structure
• pSurfaceFormatCount must be a valid pointer to a uint32_t value
• If the value referenced by pSurfaceFormatCount is not 0, and pSurfaceFormats is not NULL, pSurfaceFormats must be a valid pointer to an array of pSurfaceFormatCount SurfaceFormat2KHR structures

Return Codes

Success

• SUCCESS
• INCOMPLETE

Failure

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
• ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR

VkPhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR - Structure specifying a surface and related swapchain creation parameters

Description

The members of PhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR correspond to the arguments to getPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR, with sType and pNext added for extensibility.

Additional capabilities of a surface may be available to swapchains created with different full-screen exclusive settings - particularly if exclusive full-screen access is application controlled. These additional capabilities can be queried by adding a SurfaceFullScreenExclusiveInfoEXT structure to the pNext chain of this structure when used to query surface properties. Additionally, for Win32 surfaces with application controlled exclusive full-screen access, chaining a SurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT structure may also report additional surface capabilities. These additional capabilities only apply to swapchains created with the same parameters included in the pNext chain of SwapchainCreateInfoKHR.

Valid Usage

• If the pNext chain includes a SurfaceFullScreenExclusiveInfoEXT structure with its fullScreenExclusive member set to FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_APPLICATION_CONTROLLED_EXT, and surface was created using createWin32SurfaceKHR, a SurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT structure must be included in the pNext chain

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• sType must be STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SURFACE_INFO_2_KHR

• Each pNext member of any structure (including this one) in the pNext chain must be either NULL or a pointer to a valid instance of SurfaceFullScreenExclusiveInfoEXT or SurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT
• The sType value of each struct in the pNext chain must be unique
• surface must be a valid SurfaceKHR handle

VkSurfaceCapabilities2KHR - Structure describing capabilities of a surface

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• sType must be STRUCTURE_TYPE_SURFACE_CAPABILITIES_2_KHR

• Each pNext member of any structure (including this one) in the pNext chain must be either NULL or a pointer to a valid instance of DisplayNativeHdrSurfaceCapabilitiesAMD, SharedPresentSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR, SurfaceCapabilitiesFullScreenExclusiveEXT, or SurfaceProtectedCapabilitiesKHR
• The sType value of each struct in the pNext chain must be unique

VkSurfaceKHR - Opaque handle to a surface object

Description

The VK_KHR_surface extension declares the SurfaceKHR object, and provides a function for destroying SurfaceKHR objects. Separate platform-specific extensions each provide a function for creating a SurfaceKHR object for the respective platform. From the application’s perspective this is an opaque handle, just like the handles of other Vulkan objects.

VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR - Structure describing capabilities of a surface

Description

Note

Supported usage flags of a presentable image when using PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_DEMAND_REFRESH_KHR or PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_CONTINUOUS_REFRESH_KHR presentation mode are provided by SharedPresentSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR::sharedPresentSupportedUsageFlags.

Note

Formulas such as min(N, maxImageCount) are not correct, since maxImageCount may be zero.

VkColorSpaceKHR - supported color space of the presentation engine

Description

Note

In the initial release of the VK_KHR_surface and https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/specs/1.2-extensions/html/vkspec.html#VK_KHR_swapchain extensions, the token VK_COLORSPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR was used. Starting in the 2016-05-13 updates to the extension branches, matching release 1.0.13 of the core API specification, COLOR_SPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR is used instead for consistency with Vulkan naming rules. The older enum is still available for backwards compatibility.

Note

In older versions of this extension COLOR_SPACE_DISPLAY_P3_LINEAR_EXT was misnamed COLOR_SPACE_DCI_P3_LINEAR_EXT. This has been updated to indicate that it uses RGB color encoding, not XYZ. The old name is deprecated but is maintained for backwards compatibility.

The color components of non-linear color space swap chain images must have had the appropriate transfer function applied. The color space selected for the swap chain image will not affect the processing of data written into the image by the implementation. Vulkan requires that all implementations support the sRGB transfer function by use of an SRGB pixel format. Other transfer functions, such as SMPTE 170M or SMPTE2084, can be performed by the application shader. This extension defines enums for ColorSpaceKHR that correspond to the following color spaces:

Color Spaces and Attributes

The transfer functions are described in the “Transfer Functions” chapter of the Khronos Data Format Specification.
