# clIcdGetPlatformIDsKHR(3clc)

Obtain the list of platforms accessible through the Khronos ICD Loader.

## NAME

clIcdGetPlatformIDsKHR - Obtain the list of platforms accessible through the Khronos ICD Loader.

##

**cl\_int clIcdGetPlatformIDsKHR(cl\_uint** *num\_entries***, cl\_platform\_id \****platforms***, cl\_uint \****num\_platforms***);**

## PARAMETERS

*num\_entries*

The number of **cl\_platform\_id** entries that can be added to *platforms*. If *platforms* is not NULL, then *num\_entries* must be greater than zero.

*platforms*

Returns a list of OpenCL platforms available for access through the Khronos ICD Loader. The **cl\_platform\_id** values returned in *platforms* are ICD compatible and can be used to identify a specific OpenCL platform. If the *platforms* argument is NULL, then this argument is ignored. The number of OpenCL platforms returned is the minimum of the value specified by *num\_entries* or the number of OpenCL platforms available.

*num\_platforms*

Returns the number of OpenCL platforms available. If *num\_platforms* is NULL, then this argument is ignored.

## NOTES

This function is enabled by the [**cl\_khr\_icd**(3clc)](/cl_khr_icd/3clc.md) extension.

## ERRORS

Returns CL\_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns the following:

• CL\_PLATFORM\_NOT\_FOUND\_KHR if zero platforms are available.

• CL\_INVALID\_VALUE if *num\_entries*  is equal to zero and *platforms* is not NULL or if both *num\_platforms* and *platforms* are NULL.
