Struct vulkano::instance::LayerProperties

pub struct LayerProperties { /* fields omitted */ }

Properties of a layer.

Methods

impl LayerProperties

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

Returns the name of the layer.

If you want to enable this layer on an instance, you need to pass this value to Instance::new.

Example

use vulkano::instance;

for layer in instance::layers_list().unwrap() {
    println!("Layer name: {}", layer.name());
}

pub fn description(&self) -> &str

Returns a description of the layer.

This description is chosen by the layer itself.

Example

use vulkano::instance;

for layer in instance::layers_list().unwrap() {
    println!("Layer description: {}", layer.description());
}

pub fn vulkan_version(&self) -> Version

Returns the version of Vulkan supported by this layer.

Example

use vulkano::instance;
use vulkano::instance::Version;

for layer in instance::layers_list().unwrap() {
    if layer.vulkan_version() >= (Version { major: 2, minor: 0, patch: 0 }) {
        println!("Layer {} requires Vulkan 2.0", layer.name());
    }
}

pub fn implementation_version(&self) -> u32

Returns an implementation-specific version number for this layer.

The number is chosen by the layer itself. It can be used for bug reports for example.

Example

use vulkano::instance;

for layer in instance::layers_list().unwrap() {
    println!("Layer {} - Version: {}", layer.name(), layer.implementation_version());
}
