# VkValidationFlagsEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkValidationFlagsEXT - Specify validation checks to disable for a Vulkan instance

## C Specification

When creating a Vulkan instance for which you wish to disable validation checks, add a VkValidationFlagsEXT structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkInstanceCreateInfo structure, specifying the checks to be disabled.

    typedef struct VkValidationFlagsEXT {
        VkStructureType                sType;
        const void*                    pNext;
        uint32_t                       disabledValidationCheckCount;
        const VkValidationCheckEXT*    pDisabledValidationChecks;
    } VkValidationFlagsEXT;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

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

- `disabledValidationCheckCount` is the number of checks to disable.

- `pDisabledValidationChecks` is a pointer to an array of VkValidationCheckEXT values specifying the validation checks to be disabled.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VALIDATION_FLAGS_EXT`

- `pDisabledValidationChecks` must be a valid pointer to an array of `disabledValidationCheckCount` valid VkValidationCheckEXT values

- `disabledValidationCheckCount` must be greater than `0`
