Module load 

Open the OS Vulkan library and initialize cached entry-point dispatch.

Structs

Capabilities

Owned snapshot of the API version and extension names used at creation. Device snapshots inherit instance extensions and cap the API version by the selected physical device. Feature records are owned; no input pNext pointers are retained.

Entry

Global dispatch. Instances created here retain the native library independently.

FeatureValue

One explicitly captured native feature member. Names use the registry’s C spelling, so shaderInt64 remains recognizable in specification diagnostics.

Features

Snapshot of exact feature records used to create a device.

InitializationFailure

Retains a created handle and its library when automatic rollback is impossible. The native object still needs explicit cleanup; dropping this error performs no destruction. Keep its parent and original allocator callback state alive.

Enums

CallError

A Vulkan driver failure or a missing command (entry, instance or device level).

CommandSupport

Version/extension admission for one exact command spelling. This does not validate enabled feature bits, parameters or Vulkan valid usage.

CreatedHandle

A native object returned successfully before dispatch initialization failed.

LoadError

Loading or required-command resolution failure.

Functions

enumerate_instance_extension_properties

Enumerate instance extensions available without any layer.

enumerate_instance_layer_properties

Enumerate all implicit and explicit Vulkan layers installed on this system.

enumerate_instance_version

Query the loader API version. A Vulkan 1.0 loader has no version command.
