VkSemaphoreImportFlagBits(3)

# VkSemaphoreImportFlagBits(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkSemaphoreImportFlagBits - Bitmask specifying additional parameters of semaphore payload import

## C Specification

Bits which can be set in

- VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR::`flags`

- VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR::`flags`

- VkImportSemaphoreZirconHandleInfoFUCHSIA::`flags`

specifying additional parameters of a semaphore import operation are:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef enum VkSemaphoreImportFlagBits {
        VK_SEMAPHORE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT = 0x00000001,
      // Provided by VK_KHR_external_semaphore
        VK_SEMAPHORE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT_KHR = VK_SEMAPHORE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT,
    } VkSemaphoreImportFlagBits;

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_semaphore
    // Equivalent to VkSemaphoreImportFlagBits
    typedef VkSemaphoreImportFlagBits VkSemaphoreImportFlagBitsKHR;

## Description

These bits have the following meanings:

- VK_SEMAPHORE_IMPORT_TEMPORARY_BIT specifies that the semaphore payload will be imported only temporarily, as described in Importing Semaphore Payloads, regardless of the permanence of `handleType`.
