        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkPrivateDataSlotCreateInfo*          pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkPrivateDataSlot*                          pPrivateDataSlot);

or the equivalent command

    // Provided by VK_EXT_private_data
    VkResult vkCreatePrivateDataSlotEXT(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkPrivateDataSlotCreateInfo*          pCreateInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkPrivateDataSlot*                          pPrivateDataSlot);
