# vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2 - Binds descriptor sets to a command buffer

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Alternatively, to bind one or more descriptor sets to a command buffer, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    void vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkBindDescriptorSetsInfo*             pBindDescriptorSetsInfo);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance6
    void vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2KHR(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkBindDescriptorSetsInfo*             pBindDescriptorSetsInfo);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer that the descriptor sets will be bound to.

- `pBindDescriptorSetsInfo` is a pointer to a `VkBindDescriptorSetsInfo` structure.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2-pBindDescriptorSetsInfo-09467
  Each bit in `pBindDescriptorSetsInfo->stageFlags` must be a stage supported by the `commandBuffer`’s parent `VkCommandPool`’s queue family

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2-commandBuffer-parameter
  `commandBuffer` must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

- VUID-vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2-pBindDescriptorSetsInfo-parameter
  `pBindDescriptorSetsInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkBindDescriptorSetsInfo structure

- VUID-vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2-commandBuffer-recording
  `commandBuffer` must be in the recording state

- VUID-vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2-commandBuffer-cmdpool
  The `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must support graphics, or compute operations

- VUID-vkCmdBindDescriptorSets2-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

Command Properties

Command Buffer Levels | Render Pass Scope | Video Coding Scope | Supported Queue Types | Command Type
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Primary Secondary | Both | Outside | Graphics Compute | State
