# VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate - Opaque handle to a descriptor update template

## C Specification

A descriptor update template specifies a mapping from descriptor update information in host memory to descriptors in a descriptor set. It is designed to avoid passing redundant information to the driver when frequently updating the same set of descriptors in descriptor sets.

Descriptor update template objects are represented by `VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate` handles:

    VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate)

or the equivalent

    typedef VkDescriptorUpdateTemplate VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR;
