VKENUMERATEDEVICELAY(3)

NAME
vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties - Returns properties of available physical device layers

C SPECIFICATION

To enumerate device layers, call:

    VkResult vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        uint32_t*                                   pPropertyCount,
        VkLayerProperties*                          pProperties);

PARAMETERS

    • pPropertyCount is a pointer to an integer related to the number of layer properties available or queried.

    • pProperties is either NULL or a pointer to an array of VkLayerProperties structures.

DESCRIPTION

If pProperties is NULL, then the number of layer properties available is returned in pPropertyCount. Otherwise, pPropertyCount must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the pProperties array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pProperties. If pPropertyCount is less than the number of layer properties available, at most pPropertyCount structures will be written. If pPropertyCount is smaller than the number of layers available, VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of VK_SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available layer properties were returned.

The list of layers enumerated by vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties must be exactly the sequence of layers enabled for the instance. The members of VkLayerProperties for each enumerated layer must be the same as the properties when the layer was enumerated by vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties. Valid Usage (Implicit)

    • physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

    • pPropertyCount must be a pointer to a uint32_t value

    • If the value referenced by pPropertyCount is not 0, and pProperties is not NULL, pProperties must be a pointer to an array of pPropertyCount VkLayerProperties structures
Return Codes

On success, this command returns

        • VK_SUCCESS

        • VK_INCOMPLETE

On failure, this command returns

        • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

        • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
