# VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits - Bitmask specifying descriptor set layout properties

## C Specification

Bits which can be set in VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo::`flags` to specify options for descriptor set layout are:

    typedef enum VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits {
        VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT = 0x00000002,
        VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_PUSH_DESCRIPTOR_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
        VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT_EXT = VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT,
        VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_FLAG_BITS_MAX_ENUM = 0x7FFFFFFF
    } VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits;

## Description

- `VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_PUSH_DESCRIPTOR_BIT_KHR` specifies that descriptor sets must not be allocated using this layout, and descriptors are instead pushed by vkCmdPushDescriptorSetKHR.

- `VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_POOL_BIT` specifies that descriptor sets using this layout must be allocated from a descriptor pool created with the `VK_DESCRIPTOR_POOL_CREATE_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT` bit set. Descriptor set layouts created with this bit set have alternate limits for the maximum number of descriptors per-stage and per-pipeline layout. The non-UpdateAfterBind limits only count descriptors in sets created without this flag. The UpdateAfterBind limits count all descriptors, but the limits may be higher than the non-UpdateAfterBind limits.
