vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties

To enumerate device layers, call:

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

• physicalDevice is the physical device that will be queried.
• 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.

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 application 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, and VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of VK_SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available properties were returned.

The list of layers enumerated by vkEnumerateDeviceLayerPropertiesmust 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.
