## C Specification

The `VkClearValue` union is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef union VkClearValue {
        VkClearColorValue           color;
        VkClearDepthStencilValue    depthStencil;
    } VkClearValue;

## Members

- `color` specifies the color image clear values to use when clearing a color image or attachment.

- `depthStencil` specifies the depth and stencil clear values to use when clearing a depth/stencil image or attachment.

## Description

This union is used where part of the API requires either color or depth/stencil clear values, depending on the attachment, and defines the initial clear values in the VkRenderPassBeginInfo structure.
