Function Prototype
vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT
Create a VkSurfaceKHR object for CAMetalLayer
To create a VkSurfaceKHR object for a CAMetalLayer, call:
VkResult vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT(
VkInstance instance,
const VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT* pCreateInfo,
const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
VkSurfaceKHR* pSurface);
instanceis the instance with which to associate the surface.pCreateInfois a pointer to a VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT structure specifying parameters affecting the creation of the surface object.pAllocatoris the allocator used for host memory allocated for the surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see Memory Allocation).pSurfaceis a pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the created surface object is returned.
Valid Usage (Implicit)
VUID-vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT-instance-parameter
instance must be a valid VkInstance handle
VUID-vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT-pCreateInfo-parameter
pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT structure
VUID-vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT-pAllocator-parameter
If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
VUID-vkCreateMetalSurfaceEXT-pSurface-parameter
pSurface must be a valid pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle
