# vkCreateFramebuffer(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkCreateFramebuffer - Create a new framebuffer object

## C Specification

To create a framebuffer, call:

    VkResult vkCreateFramebuffer(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkFramebufferCreateInfo*              pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkFramebuffer*                              pFramebuffer);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that creates the framebuffer.

- `pCreateInfo` is a pointer to a VkFramebufferCreateInfo structure describing additional information about framebuffer creation.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

- `pFramebuffer` is a pointer to a VkFramebuffer handle in which the resulting framebuffer object is returned.

## Description

Valid Usage

- If `pCreateInfo->flags` does not include `VK_FRAMEBUFFER_CREATE_IMAGELESS_BIT`, and `attachmentCount` is not `0`, each element of `pCreateInfo->pAttachments` must have been created on `device`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- `pCreateInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkFramebufferCreateInfo structure

- If `pAllocator` is not `NULL`, `pAllocator` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

- `pFramebuffer` must be a valid pointer to a VkFramebuffer handle

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

On failure, this command returns

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`
