Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_xlib_surface
    typedef struct VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType                sType;
        const void*                    pNext;
        VkXlibSurfaceCreateFlagsKHR    flags;
        Display*                       dpy;
        Window                         window;
    } VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is reserved for future use.

- `dpy` is a pointer to an Xlib `Display` connection to the X server.

- `window` is an Xlib `Window` to associate the surface with.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-dpy-01313
  `dpy` must point to a valid Xlib `Display`

- VUID-VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-window-01314
  `window` must be a valid Xlib `Window`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_XLIB_SURFACE_CREATE_INFO_KHR

- VUID-VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkXlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-flags-zerobitmask
  `flags` must be `0`
