# VkSurfaceProtectedCapabilitiesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkSurfaceProtectedCapabilitiesKHR - Structure describing capability of a surface to be protected

## C Specification

An application queries if a protected VkSurfaceKHR is displayable on a specific windowing system using `VkSurfaceProtectedCapabilitiesKHR`, which can be passed in `pNext` parameter of `VkSurfaceCapabilities2KHR`.

The `VkSurfaceProtectedCapabilitiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkSurfaceProtectedCapabilitiesKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkBool32           supportsProtected;
    } VkSurfaceProtectedCapabilitiesKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

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

- `supportsProtected` specifies whether a protected swapchain created from VkPhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR::`surface` for a particular windowing system can be displayed on screen or not. If `supportsProtected` is `VK_TRUE`, then creation of swapchains with the `VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT_KHR` flag set must be supported for `surface`.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SURFACE_PROTECTED_CAPABILITIES_KHR`

## See Also

`VkBool32`, VkStructureType
