# VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredDriverPropertiesMSFT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredDriverPropertiesMSFT - Structure containing information about driver layering for a physical device

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredDriverPropertiesMSFT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_MSFT_layered_driver
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredDriverPropertiesMSFT {
        VkStructureType                     sType;
        void*                               pNext;
        VkLayeredDriverUnderlyingApiMSFT    underlyingAPI;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredDriverPropertiesMSFT;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `underlyingAPI` is a VkLayeredDriverUnderlyingApiMSFT value indicating which underlying API is used to implement the layered driver, or VK_LAYERED_DRIVER_UNDERLYING_API_NONE_MSFT if the driver is not layered.

## Description

These are properties of the driver layering information of a physical device.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredDriverPropertiesMSFT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_LAYERED_DRIVER_PROPERTIES_MSFT
