# VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV - Specify diagnostics config for a Vulkan device

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

When using the Nsight™ Aftermath SDK, to configure how device crash dumps are created, add a VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkDeviceCreateInfo structure.

    // Provided by VK_NV_device_diagnostics_config
    typedef struct VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV {
        VkStructureType                     sType;
        const void*                         pNext;
        VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigFlagsNV    flags;
    } VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigFlagBitsNV specifying additional parameters for configuring diagnostic tools.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_DIAGNOSTICS_CONFIG_CREATE_INFO_NV`

- VUID-VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigCreateInfoNV-flags-parameter
  `flags` must be a valid combination of VkDeviceDiagnosticsConfigFlagBitsNV values
