<div class="textblock"><p >This guide is intended to fill the gaps between the official <a href="https://www.khronos.org/vulkan/">Vulkan resources</a> and the rest of the GLFW documentation and is not a replacement for either. It assumes some familiarity with Vulkan concepts like loaders, devices, queues and surfaces and leaves it to the Vulkan documentation to explain the details of Vulkan functions.</p>
<p >To develop for Vulkan you should download the <a href="https://vulkan.lunarg.com/">LunarG Vulkan SDK</a> for your platform. Apart from headers and link libraries, they also provide the validation layers necessary for development.</p>
<p >The <a href="https://vulkan-tutorial.com/">Vulkan Tutorial</a> has more information on how to use GLFW and Vulkan. The <a href="https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples">Khronos Vulkan Samples</a> also use GLFW, although with a small framework in between.</p>
<p >For details on a specific Vulkan support function, see the <a class="el" href="group__vulkan.html">Vulkan support reference</a>. There are also guides for the other areas of the GLFW API.</p>

<h1><a class="anchor" id="vulkan_loader"></a>
Linking against the Vulkan loader</h1>
<p >By default, GLFW will look for the Vulkan loader on demand at runtime via its standard name (<code>vulkan-1.dll</code> on Windows, <code>libvulkan.so.1</code> on Linux and other Unix-like systems and <code>libvulkan.1.dylib</code> on macOS). This means that GLFW does not need to be linked against the loader. However, it also means that if you are using the static library form of the Vulkan loader GLFW will either fail to find it or (worse) use the wrong one.</p>
<p >The <a class="el" href="compile_guide.html#GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC">GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC</a> CMake option makes GLFW call the Vulkan loader directly instead of dynamically loading it at runtime. Not linking against the Vulkan loader will then be a compile-time error.</p>
<p ><b>macOS:</b> To make your application be redistributable you will need to set up the application bundle according to the LunarG SDK documentation. This is explained in more detail in the <a href="https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/sdk/latest/mac/getting_started.html">SDK documentation for macOS</a>.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="vulkan_include"></a>
Including the Vulkan and GLFW header files</h1>
<p >To include the Vulkan header, define <a class="el" href="build_guide.html#GLFW_INCLUDE_VULKAN">GLFW_INCLUDE_VULKAN</a> before including the GLFW header.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="preprocessor">#define GLFW_INCLUDE_VULKAN</span></div>

<div class="line"><span class="preprocessor">#include &lt;<a class="code" href="glfw3_8h.html">GLFW/glfw3.h</a>&gt;</span></div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p >Unless a Vulkan header is included, either by the GLFW header or above it, any GLFW functions that take or return Vulkan types will not be declared.</p>
<p >The <code>VK_USE_PLATFORM_*_KHR</code> macros do not need to be defined for the Vulkan part of GLFW to work. Define them only if you are using these extensions directly.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="vulkan_support"></a>
Querying for Vulkan support</h1>
<p >If you are linking directly against the Vulkan loader then you can skip this section. The canonical desktop loader library exports all Vulkan core and Khronos extension functions, allowing them to be called directly.</p>
<p >If you are loading the Vulkan loader dynamically instead of linking directly against it, you can check for the availability of a loader and ICD with <a class="el" href="group__vulkan.html#ga2e7f30931e02464b5bc8d0d4b6f9fe2b">glfwVulkanSupported</a>.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" id="vulkan_proc"></a>
Querying Vulkan function pointers</h2>
<p >To load any Vulkan core or extension function from the found loader, call <a class="el" href="group__vulkan.html#gadf228fac94c5fd8f12423ec9af9ff1e9">glfwGetInstanceProcAddress</a>. To load functions needed for instance creation, pass <code>NULL</code> as the instance.</p>

</div><!-- fragment --><p >This function in turn calls <code>vkGetInstanceProcAddr</code>.

If that also fails, the function returns <code>NULL</code>. For more information about <code>vkGetInstanceProcAddr</code>, see the Vulkan documentation.</p>
<p >Vulkan also provides <code>vkGetDeviceProcAddr</code> for loading device-specific versions of Vulkan function. This function can be retrieved from an instance with <a class="el" href="group__vulkan.html#gadf228fac94c5fd8f12423ec9af9ff1e9">glfwGetInstanceProcAddress</a>.</p>

</div><!-- fragment --><p >Device-specific functions may execute a little bit faster, due to not having to dispatch internally based on the device passed to them. For more information about <code>vkGetDeviceProcAddr</code>, see the Vulkan documentation.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="vulkan_ext"></a>
Querying required Vulkan extensions</h1>
<p >To do anything useful with Vulkan you need to create an instance. If you want to use Vulkan to render to a window, you must enable the instance extensions GLFW requires to create Vulkan surfaces.</p>
<p >To query the instance extensions required, call <a class="el" href="group__vulkan.html#ga99ad342d82f4a3421e2864978cb6d1d6">glfwGetRequiredInstanceExtensions</a>.</p>

The set of extensions will vary depending on platform and may also vary depending on graphics drivers and other factors.</p>
<p >If it fails it will return <code>NULL</code> and GLFW will not be able to create Vulkan window surfaces. You can still use Vulkan for off-screen rendering and compute work.</p>
<p >If successful the returned array will always include <code>VK_KHR_surface</code>, so if you don't require any additional extensions you can pass this list directly to the <code>VkInstanceCreateInfo</code> struct.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line">VkInstanceCreateInfo ici;</div>

</div><!-- fragment --><p >Additional extensions may be required by future versions of GLFW. You should check whether any extensions you wish to enable are already in the returned array, as it is an error to specify an extension more than once in the <code>VkInstanceCreateInfo</code> struct.</p>
<p ><b>macOS:</b> MoltenVK is (as of July 2022) not yet a fully conformant implementation of Vulkan. As of Vulkan SDK 1.3.216.0, this means you must also enable the <code>VK_KHR_portability_enumeration</code> instance extension and set the <code>VK_INSTANCE_CREATE_ENUMERATE_PORTABILITY_BIT_KHR</code> bit in the instance creation info flags for MoltenVK to show up in the list of physical devices. For more information, see the Vulkan and MoltenVK documentation.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="vulkan_present"></a>
Querying for Vulkan presentation support</h1>
<p >Not every queue family of every Vulkan device can present images to surfaces.
