# vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2 - Returns properties of a physical device

## C Specification

To query general properties of physical devices once enumerated, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    void vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2*                pProperties);

    // Provided by VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2
    // Equivalent to vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2
    void vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2*                pProperties);

## Parameters

- `physicalDevice` is the handle to the physical device whose properties will be queried.

- `pProperties` is a pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure in which properties are returned.

## Description

Each structure in `pProperties` and its `pNext` chain contains members corresponding to implementation-dependent properties, behaviors, or limits. `vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2` fills in each member to specify the corresponding value for the implementation.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2-physicalDevice-parameter
  `physicalDevice` must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2-pProperties-parameter
  `pProperties` must be a valid pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure
