# VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR - Structure specifying parameters of a newly created swapchain object

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

If the `pNext` chain of VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR includes a `VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR` structure, then that structure includes a set of device group present modes that the swapchain can be used with.

The `VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1 with VK_KHR_swapchain, VK_KHR_device_group with VK_KHR_swapchain
    typedef struct VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType                     sType;
        const void*                         pNext;
        VkDeviceGroupPresentModeFlagsKHR    modes;
    } VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `modes` is a bitfield of modes that the swapchain can be used with.

## Description

If this structure is not present, `modes` is considered to be VK_DEVICE_GROUP_PRESENT_MODE_LOCAL_BIT_KHR.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_GROUP_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_INFO_KHR

- VUID-VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR-modes-parameter
  `modes` must be a valid combination of VkDeviceGroupPresentModeFlagBitsKHR values

- VUID-VkDeviceGroupSwapchainCreateInfoKHR-modes-requiredbitmask
  `modes` must not be `0`
