Structure specifying a command buffer begin operation.
Valid Usage
- If flags contains COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_RENDER_PASS_CONTINUE_BIT, the framebuffer member of pInheritanceInfo must be either NULL_HANDLE, or a valid VkFramebuffer that is compatible with the renderPass member of pInheritanceInfo
- If flags contains COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_RENDER_PASS_CONTINUE_BIT and the renderPass member of pInheritanceInfo is not NULL_HANDLE, renderPass must be a valid VkRenderPass
- If flags contains COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_RENDER_PASS_CONTINUE_BIT and the renderPass member of pInheritanceInfo is not NULL_HANDLE, the subpass member of pInheritanceInfo must be a valid subpass index within the renderPass member of pInheritanceInfo
- If flags contains COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_RENDER_PASS_CONTINUE_BIT and the renderPass member of pInheritanceInfo is NULL_HANDLE, the pNext chain of pInheritanceInfo must include a VkCommandBufferInheritanceRenderingInfo structure
- If flags contains COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_RENDER_PASS_CONTINUE_BIT, the renderPass member of pInheritanceInfo is NULL_HANDLE, and the pNext chain of pInheritanceInfo includes a VkAttachmentSampleCountInfoAMD or VkAttachmentSampleCountInfoNV structure, the colorAttachmentCount member of that structure must be equal to the value of VkCommandBufferInheritanceRenderingInfo::colorAttachmentCount
Valid Usage (Implicit)
- sType must be STRUCTURE_TYPE_COMMAND_BUFFER_BEGIN_INFO
- pNext must be NULL or a pointer to a valid instance of VkDeviceGroupCommandBufferBeginInfo
- The sType value of each struct in the pNext chain must be unique
- flags must be a valid combination of VkCommandBufferUsageFlagBits values
