# VkFenceCreateInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkFenceCreateInfo - Structure specifying parameters of a newly created fence

## C Specification

The `VkFenceCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkFenceCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType       sType;
        const void*           pNext;
        VkFenceCreateFlags    flags;
    } VkFenceCreateInfo;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkFenceCreateFlagBits specifying the initial state and behavior of the fence.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FENCE_CREATE_INFO`

- Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkExportFenceCreateInfo or VkExportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR

- The `sType` value of each struct in the `pNext` chain must be unique

- `flags` must be a valid combination of VkFenceCreateFlagBits values
