# VkPipelineCreateInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineCreateInfoKHR - Structure specifying a pipeline createinfo chain

## C Specification

The `VkPipelineCreateInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_pipeline_binary
    typedef struct VkPipelineCreateInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
    } VkPipelineCreateInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPipelineCreateInfoKHR-pNext-09604
  `pNext` must be pointer to a valid instance of VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, VkExecutionGraphPipelineCreateInfoAMDX, VkRayTracingPipelineCreateInfoKHR, or VkComputePipelineCreateInfo

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineCreateInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_CREATE_INFO_KHR
