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);
instance
is the instance with which to associate the surface.pCreateInfo
is a pointer to a VkMetalSurfaceCreateInfoEXT structure specifying parameters affecting the creation of the surface object.pAllocator
is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see Memory Allocation).pSurface
is a pointer to aVkSurfaceKHR
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

If pAllocator
is not NULL
, pAllocator
must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
