Expand description
Cross-platform GPU device and surface management.
You can use this crate to multithread a graphics application so that rendering happens on multiple threads, sharing textures among them in the most efficient manner. It may also be useful as a lightweight framework for just initializing rendering in native applications. This is in contrast to crates like SDL, GLFW, winit, and Glutin, all of which have a broader focus in that they manage windowing and the event loop as well.

Macros
When using
surfman, you should place this macro at the top of your crate, like so:Structs
Various flags that control attributes of the context and/or surfaces created from that
context.
Attributes that control aspects of a context and/or surfaces created from that context.
Information needed to create a context. Some APIs call this a “config” or a “pixel format”.
A unique ID among all currently-allocated contexts.
Describes the OpenGL version that is requested when a context is created.
Wrapper for a native
EGLContext.A unique ID per allocated surface.
Various data about the surface.
Various data about the surface.
Enums
The API (OpenGL or OpenGL ES).
Specifies how and if the CPU has direct access to the surface data.
Information specific to the type of surface: generic or widget.
