# D3D12_SHADER_CACHE_MODE

> Defines constants that specify a shader cache's mode.

Defines constants that specify a shader cache's mode.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
typedef enum D3D12_SHADER_CACHE_MODE
{
    D3D12_SHADER_CACHE_MODE_MEMORY = 0,
    D3D12_SHADER_CACHE_MODE_DISK = 0
} D3D12_SHADER_CACHE_MODE
```

## Constants

| Constant | Description |
| - | - |
| D3D12\_SHADER\_CACHE\_MODE\_MEMORY | Specifies that there's no backing file for this cache. All stores are discarded when the session object is destroyed. |
| D3D12\_SHADER\_CACHE\_MODE\_DISK | Specifies that the session is backed by files on disk that persist from run to run unless cleared. For ways to clear a disk cache, see [ID3D12ShaderCacheSession::SetDeleteOnDestroy](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/graphics/d3d12/interfaces/id3d12shadercachesession/methods/id3d12shadercachesession_setdeleteondestroy_public.md). |
