VkFormatProperties4KHR(3)

# VkFormatProperties4KHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkFormatProperties4KHR - Structure specifying additional image format properties

## C Specification

The VkFormatProperties4KHR structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_extended_flags
    typedef struct VkFormatProperties4KHR {
        VkStructureType             sType;
        void*                       pNext;
        VkFormatFeatureFlags4KHR    linearTilingFeatures;
        VkFormatFeatureFlags4KHR    optimalTilingFeatures;
        VkFormatFeatureFlags4KHR    bufferFeatures;
    } VkFormatProperties4KHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `linearTilingFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits4KHR specifying features supported by images created with a `tiling` parameter of VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR.

- `optimalTilingFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits4KHR specifying features supported by images created with a `tiling` parameter of VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL.

- `bufferFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits4KHR specifying features supported by buffers.

## Description

To query supported format extended features which are properties of the physical device, add a VkFormatProperties4KHR structure to the `pNext` chain of VkFormatProperties2.

Note | `VkFormatProperties4KHR` supports additional format feature bits beyond those in VkFormatProperties3.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkFormatProperties4KHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FORMAT_PROPERTIES_4_KHR

Structure Chaining

Extends the structure

  - VkFormatProperties2
