C Specification

The VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo {
    VkStructureType                       sType;
    const void*                           pNext;
    VkBufferCreateFlags                   flags;
    VkBufferUsageFlags                    usage;
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits    handleType;
} VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo;
// Provided by VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities
// Equivalent to VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo
typedef VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfo VkPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferInfoKHR;

Description

Only usage flags representable in VkBufferUsageFlagBits are returned in this structure’s usage. If the pNext chain includes a VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfo structure, all usage flags of the buffer are returned in VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfo::usage.
