Function documentation
static EResult QueryAvailableLayers(ui32& _numContainer, LayerProperties* _propertiesContainer)
Query the available layers.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| _numContainer | Referenced object that will either specify the number of available layers to retrieve (if _propertiesContainer is not null), or be written to with the number of available layers (if _propertiesContainer is null). |
| _propertiesContainer | Pointer to a properties container array that will be populated if the pointer is not null. |
| Returns | Returns EResult code (Indicating whether query was successful) |
static EResult QueryAvailableAppExtensions(RoCStr _layerName, ui32& _numProperties, ExtensionProperties* _propertiesContainer)
Query the available instance extensions.
static EResult QueryExtensionProperties(Handle _handle, RoCStr _layerName, ui32* _numExtensions, ExtensionProperties* _extensionPropertiesContainer)
Device extensions add new device-level functionality to the API, outside of the core specification.
Query the extensions available to a given physical device.
When pLayerName parameter is NULL, only extensions provided by the Vulkan implementation or by implicitly enabled layers are returned. When pLayerName is the name of a layer, the device extensions provided by that layer are returned.
