C Specification

The list of possible API implementations of a layered implementation underneath the Vulkan physical device, as returned in VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiPropertiesKHR::layeredAPI, are:

// Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance7
typedef enum VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiKHR {
    VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_LAYERED_API_VULKAN_KHR = 0,
    VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_LAYERED_API_D3D12_KHR = 1,
    VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_LAYERED_API_METAL_KHR = 2,
    VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_LAYERED_API_OPENGL_KHR = 3,
    VK_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_LAYERED_API_OPENGLES_KHR = 4,
} VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiKHR;
