# VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryProperties(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryProperties - Structure describing protected memory properties that can be supported by an implementation

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryProperties` structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryProperties {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           protectedNoFault;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryProperties;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

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

## Description

- `protectedNoFault` specifies the behavior of the implementation when protected memory access rules are broken. If `protectedNoFault` is `VK_TRUE`, breaking those rules will not result in process termination or device loss.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryProperties` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2, it is filled with a value indicating the implementation-dependent behavior.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PROTECTED_MEMORY_PROPERTIES`

## See Also

`VkBool32`, VkStructureType
