# VkDisplayPowerStateEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDisplayPowerStateEXT - Possible power states for a display

## C Specification

Possible values of VkDisplayPowerInfoEXT::`powerState`, specifying the new power state of a display, are:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_display_control
    typedef enum VkDisplayPowerStateEXT {
        VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_OFF_EXT = 0,
        VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_SUSPEND_EXT = 1,
        VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_ON_EXT = 2,
    } VkDisplayPowerStateEXT;

## Description

- VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_OFF_EXT specifies that the display is powered down.

- VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_SUSPEND_EXT specifies that the display is put into a low power mode, from which it may be able to transition back to VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_ON_EXT more quickly than if it were in VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_OFF_EXT. This state may be the same as VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_OFF_EXT.

- VK_DISPLAY_POWER_STATE_ON_EXT specifies that the display is powered on.
