VkStructureType - Vulkan structure types (stype)

Description

Each value corresponds to a particular structure with a sType member with a matching name. As a general rule, the name of each StructureType value is obtained by taking the name of the structure, stripping the leading Vk, prefixing each capital letter with _, converting the entire resulting string to upper case, and prefixing it with VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_. For example, structures of type ImageCreateInfo correspond to a StructureType of STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_CREATE_INFO, and thus its sType member must equal that when it is passed to the API.

The values STRUCTURE_TYPE_LOADER_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO and STRUCTURE_TYPE_LOADER_DEVICE_CREATE_INFO are reserved for internal use by the loader, and do not have corresponding Vulkan structures in this Specification.
