## Name

VkImageSubresourceLayers - Structure specifying an image subresource layers

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkImageSubresourceLayers` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkImageSubresourceLayers {
        VkImageAspectFlags    aspectMask;
        uint32_t              mipLevel;
        uint32_t              baseArrayLayer;
        uint32_t              layerCount;
    } VkImageSubresourceLayers;

## Members

- `aspectMask` is a combination of VkImageAspectFlagBits, selecting the color, depth and/or stencil aspects to be copied.

- `mipLevel` is the mipmap level to copy

- `baseArrayLayer` and `layerCount` are the starting layer and number of layers to copy.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkImageSubresourceLayers-aspectMask-00167
  If `aspectMask` contains `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT`, it must not contain either of `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_DEPTH_BIT` or `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_STENCIL_BIT`

- VUID-VkImageSubresourceLayers-aspectMask-00168
  `aspectMask` must not contain `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_METADATA_BIT`

- VUID-VkImageSubresourceLayers-aspectMask-02247
  `aspectMask` must not include `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_i_BIT_EXT` for any index i

- VUID-VkImageSubresourceLayers-layerCount-09243
  If the `maintenance5` feature is not enabled, `layerCount` must not be `VK_REMAINING_ARRAY_LAYERS`

- VUID-VkImageSubresourceLayers-layerCount-01700
  If `layerCount` is not `VK_REMAINING_ARRAY_LAYERS`, it must be greater than 0

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkImageSubresourceLayers-aspectMask-parameter
  `aspectMask` must be a valid combination of VkImageAspectFlagBits values

- VUID-VkImageSubresourceLayers-aspectMask-requiredbitmask
  `aspectMask` must not be `0`
