# vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2 - Returns properties of a physical device

## C Specification

To query general properties of physical devices once enumerated, call:

    void vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2*                pProperties);

or the equivalent command

    void vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2*                pProperties);

## Parameters

- `physicalDevice` is the handle to the physical device whose properties will be queried.

- `pProperties` is a pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure in which properties are returned.

## Description

Each structure in `pProperties` and its `pNext` chain contain members corresponding to properties or implementation-dependent limits. `vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2` writes each member to a value indicating the value of that property or limit.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `physicalDevice` must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

- `pProperties` must be a valid pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure
