The HLSL semantic associated with this element in a shader input-signature.

The semantic index for the element. A semantic index modifies a semantic, with an integer index number. A semantic index is only needed in a case where there is more than one element with the same semantic. For example, a 4x4 matrix would have four components each with the semantic name matrix, however each of the four component would have different semantic indices (0, 1, 2, and 3).

The data type of the element data.

An integer value that identifies the input-assembler. Valid values are between 0 and 15.

Offset (in bytes) between each element. Use AppendAligned for convenience to define the current element directly after the previous one, including any packing if necessary.
