VkApplicationInfo

The VkApplicationInfo structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkApplicationInfo {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    const char* pApplicationName;
    uint32_t applicationVersion;
    const char* pEngineName;
    uint32_t engineVersion;
    uint32_t apiVersion;
} VkApplicationInfo;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• pApplicationName is NULL or is a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string containing the name of the application.
• applicationVersion is an unsigned integer variable containing the developer-supplied version number of the application.
• pEngineName is NULL or is a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string containing the name of the engine (if any) used to create the application.
• engineVersion is an unsigned integer variable containing the developer-supplied version number of the engine used to create the application.
• apiVersion is the version of the Vulkan API against which the application expects to run, encoded as described in Version Numbers. If apiVersion is 0 the implementation must ignore it, otherwise if the implementation does not support the requested apiVersion, or an effective substitute for apiVersion, it must return VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER. The patch version number specified in apiVersion is ignored when creating an instance object. The variant version of the instance must match that requested in apiVersion.
