## Name

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkBaseOutStructure` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkBaseOutStructure {
        VkStructureType               sType;
        struct VkBaseOutStructure*    pNext;
    } VkBaseOutStructure;

## Members

- `sType` is the structure type of the structure being iterated through.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to the next structure in a structure chain.

## Description

`VkBaseOutStructure` can be used to facilitate iterating through a structure pointer chain that returns data back to the application.
