# vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2 - Pushes descriptor updates into a command buffer

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Alternatively, to push descriptor updates into a command buffer, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    void vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkPushDescriptorSetInfo*              pPushDescriptorSetInfo);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance6 with VK_KHR_push_descriptor
    void vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2KHR(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkPushDescriptorSetInfo*              pPushDescriptorSetInfo);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer that the descriptors will be recorded in.

- `pPushDescriptorSetInfo` is a pointer to a `VkPushDescriptorSetInfo` structure.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2-pPushDescriptorSetInfo-09468
  Each bit in `pPushDescriptorSetInfo->stageFlags` must be a stage supported by the `commandBuffer`’s parent `VkCommandPool`’s queue family

- VUID-vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2-None-10357
  If the VK_KHR_push_descriptor extension is not enabled, `pushDescriptor` must be enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2-commandBuffer-parameter
  `commandBuffer` must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

- VUID-vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2-pPushDescriptorSetInfo-parameter
  `pPushDescriptorSetInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkPushDescriptorSetInfo structure

- VUID-vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2-commandBuffer-recording
  `commandBuffer` must be in the recording state

- VUID-vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2-commandBuffer-cmdpool
  The `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must support graphics, or compute operations

- VUID-vkCmdPushDescriptorSet2-videocoding
  This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `commandBuffer` must be externally synchronized

- Host access to the `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must be externally synchronized
