# VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT - Structure describing an image descriptor created from a buffer

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

`VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT` is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_descriptor_heap
    typedef struct VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType            sType;
        const void*                pNext;
        VkFormat                   format;
        VkDeviceAddressRangeEXT    addressRange;
    } VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `format` is the VkFormat of the descriptor.

- `addressRange` is a VkDeviceAddressRangeEXT defining the range of data backing the descriptor.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT-None-11218
  If `texelBufferAlignment` is not enabled, `addressRange.address` and `addressRange.size` must be aligned to `minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_TEXEL_BUFFER_DESCRIPTOR_INFO_EXT

- VUID-VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkTexelBufferDescriptorInfoEXT-format-parameter
  `format` must be a valid VkFormat value
