# VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR - Acceleration structure version information

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
    typedef struct VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        const uint8_t*     pVersionData;
    } VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `pVersionData` is a pointer to the version header of an acceleration structure as defined in vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR

## Description

Note | `pVersionData` is a pointer to an array of 2×`VK_UUID_SIZE` `uint8_t` values instead of two `VK_UUID_SIZE` arrays as the expected use case for this member is to be pointed at the header of a previously serialized acceleration structure (via vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR or vkCopyAccelerationStructureToMemoryKHR) that is loaded in memory. Using arrays would necessitate extra memory copies of the UUIDs.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_VERSION_INFO_KHR`

- VUID-VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkAccelerationStructureVersionInfoKHR-pVersionData-parameter
  `pVersionData` must be a valid pointer to an array of 2×VK_UUID_SIZE `uint8_t` values
