# VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT - Specify that an image must be created with a DRM format modifier from the provided list

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

If the `pNext` chain of VkImageCreateInfo includes a VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT structure, then the image will be created with one of the Linux DRM format modifiers listed in the structure. The choice of modifier is implementation-dependent.

The VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier
    typedef struct VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        uint32_t           drmFormatModifierCount;
        const uint64_t*    pDrmFormatModifiers;
    } VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `drmFormatModifierCount` is the length of the `pDrmFormatModifiers` array.

- `pDrmFormatModifiers` is a pointer to an array of Linux DRM format modifiers.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT-pDrmFormatModifiers-02263
  Each modifier in `pDrmFormatModifiers` must be compatible with the parameters in VkImageCreateInfo and its `pNext` chain, as determined by querying VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2 extended with VkPhysicalDeviceImageDrmFormatModifierInfoEXT

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_LIST_CREATE_INFO_EXT`

- VUID-VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT-pDrmFormatModifiers-parameter
  `pDrmFormatModifiers` must be a valid pointer to an array of `drmFormatModifierCount` `uint64_t` values

- VUID-VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT-drmFormatModifierCount-arraylength
  `drmFormatModifierCount` must be greater than `0`
