# VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport - Structure returning information about whether a descriptor set layout can be supported

## C Specification

Information about support for the descriptor set layout is returned in a `VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport` structure:

    typedef struct VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           supported;
    } VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport;

or the equivalent

    typedef VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupport VkDescriptorSetLayoutSupportKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

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

- `supported` specifies whether the descriptor set layout can be created.

## Description

`supported` is set to `VK_TRUE` if the descriptor set can be created, or else is set to `VK_FALSE`.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_SUPPORT`

- `pNext` must be `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkDescriptorSetVariableDescriptorCountLayoutSupport

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