vkCreateXlibSurfaceKHR - Create a SurfaceKHR object for an X11 window, using the Xlib client-side library

Parameters

• Instance is the instance to associate the surface with.

• pCreateInfo is a pointer to a XlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure containing the 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 a SurfaceKHR handle in which the created surface object is returned.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• Instance must be a valid Instance handle

• pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid XlibSurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid AllocationCallbacks structure
• pSurface must be a valid pointer to a SurfaceKHR handle

Return Codes

Success

• SUCCESS

Failure

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

vkGetPhysicalDeviceXlibPresentationSupportKHR - Query physical device for presentation to X11 server using Xlib

Parameters

• PhysicalDevice is the physical device.

• queueFamilyIndex is the queue family index.
• dpy is a pointer to an Xlib Display connection to the server.
• visualId is an X11 visual (VisualID).

VkSurfaceKHR - Opaque handle to a surface object

Description

The VK_KHR_surface extension declares the SurfaceKHR object, and provides a function for destroying SurfaceKHR objects. Separate platform-specific extensions each provide a function for creating a SurfaceKHR object for the respective platform. From the application’s perspective this is an opaque handle, just like the handles of other Vulkan objects.
