C Specification
The VkLayerProperties structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkLayerProperties {
char layerName[VK_MAX_EXTENSION_NAME_SIZE];
uint32_t specVersion;
uint32_t implementationVersion;
char description[VK_MAX_DESCRIPTION_SIZE];
} VkLayerProperties;Members
-
layerNameis an array of VK_MAX_EXTENSION_NAME_SIZEcharcontaining a null-terminated UTF-8 string which is the name of the layer. Use this name in theppEnabledLayerNamesarray passed in the VkInstanceCreateInfo structure to enable this layer for an instance. -
specVersionis the Vulkan version the layer was written to, encoded as described in https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html#extendingvulkan-coreversions-versionnumbers. -
implementationVersionis the version of this layer. It is an integer, increasing with backward compatible changes. -
descriptionis an array of VK_MAX_DESCRIPTION_SIZEcharcontaining a null-terminated UTF-8 string which provides additional details that can be used by the application to identify the layer.
