# VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK - Structure specifying parameters of a newly created iOS surface object

## C Specification

The VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK {
        VkStructureType               sType;
        const void*                   pNext;
        VkIOSSurfaceCreateFlagsMVK    flags;
        const void*                   pView;
    } VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

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

- `flags` is reserved for future use.

- `pView` is a reference to a `UIView` object which will display this surface. This `UIView` must be backed by a `CALayer` instance of type CAMetalLayer.

## Description

Valid Usage

- `pView` must be a valid `UIView` and must be backed by a `CALayer` instance of type CAMetalLayer.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IOS_SURFACE_CREATE_INFO_MVK`

- `pNext` must be `NULL`

- `flags` must be `0`
