C Specification

If an image was created with VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT, then the image has a Linux DRM format modifier. To query the modifier, call:

// Provided by VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier
VkResult vkGetImageDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkImage                                     image,
    VkImageDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT*      pProperties);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that owns the image.

  • image is the queried image.

  • pProperties is a pointer to a VkImageDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT structure in which properties of the image’s DRM format modifier are returned.
