# VkSubpassContents(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkSubpassContents - Specify how commands in the first subpass of a render pass are provided

## C Specification

Possible values of vkCmdBeginRenderPass::`contents`, specifying how the commands in the first subpass will be provided, are:

    typedef enum VkSubpassContents {
        VK_SUBPASS_CONTENTS_INLINE = 0,
        VK_SUBPASS_CONTENTS_SECONDARY_COMMAND_BUFFERS = 1,
        VK_SUBPASS_CONTENTS_MAX_ENUM = 0x7FFFFFFF
    } VkSubpassContents;

## Description

- `VK_SUBPASS_CONTENTS_INLINE` specifies that the contents of the subpass will be recorded inline in the primary command buffer, and secondary command buffers must not be executed within the subpass.

- `VK_SUBPASS_CONTENTS_SECONDARY_COMMAND_BUFFERS` specifies that the contents are recorded in secondary command buffers that will be called from the primary command buffer, and vkCmdExecuteCommands is the only valid command on the command buffer until vkCmdNextSubpass or vkCmdEndRenderPass.
