# vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR - Destroy a pipeline binary

## C Specification

To destroy a VkPipelineBinaryKHR, call:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_pipeline_binary
    void vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        VkPipelineBinaryKHR                         pipelineBinary,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that created the pipeline binary object.

- `pipelineBinary` is the handle of the pipeline binary object to destroy.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR-pipelineBinary-09614
  If `VkAllocationCallbacks` were provided when `pipelineBinary` was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR-pipelineBinary-09615
  If no VkAllocationCallbacks were provided when `pipelineBinary` was created, `pAllocator` must be `NULL`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR-pipelineBinary-parameter
  If `pipelineBinary` is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, `pipelineBinary` must be a valid VkPipelineBinaryKHR handle

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR-pAllocator-parameter
  If `pAllocator` is not `NULL`, `pAllocator` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

- VUID-vkDestroyPipelineBinaryKHR-pipelineBinary-parent
  If `pipelineBinary` is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from `device`

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `pipelineBinary` must be externally synchronized
