VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate - Opaque handle to a descriptor update template

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

A descriptor update template specifies a mapping from descriptor update information in host memory to descriptors in a descriptor set. It is designed to avoid passing redundant information to the driver when frequently updating the same set of descriptors in descriptor sets.

Descriptor update template objects are represented by `VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate` handles:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate)

    // Provided by VK_KHR_descriptor_update_template
    // Equivalent to VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate
    typedef VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR;
