# vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 - Reports capabilities of a physical device

## C Specification

To query supported features defined by the core or extensions, call:

    void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2*                  pFeatures);

or the equivalent command

    void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2KHR(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2*                  pFeatures);

## Parameters

- `physicalDevice` is the physical device from which to query the supported features.

- `pFeatures` is a pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure in which the physical device features are returned.

## Description

Each structure in `pFeatures` and its `pNext` chain contains members corresponding to fine-grained features. `vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2` writes each member to a boolean value indicating whether that feature is supported.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `physicalDevice` must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

- `pFeatures` must be a valid pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure
