Vulkan^(R)^ API Documentation Project = Vulkan^(R)^ API Documentation Project
=====================================
This repository contains formal documentation of the Vulkan API. This This repository contains formal documentation of the Vulkan API. This
includes the main API Specification, the reference (man) pages, the XML API includes the Specification of the Vulkan API, including extensions; the
Registry, and related tools and scripts. reference ("`man`") pages; the XML API Registry; header files; and related
tools and scripts.
Single-Branch Model The authoritative public repository is located at
------------------- https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/ . Issues, proposed fixes for
issues, and other suggested changes should be created using Github.
As of the 1.0.25 release, we have switched to a new "`single-branch`" model
in which all extensions are included in the source of the 1.0 branch of the
Specification, and can be configured in or out of the build using Makefile
options.
Repository Structure == Branch Structure
--------------------
With the release of Vulkan 1.1, the current Specification is now maintained
in the `master` branch of the repository. It is possible to generate both
Vulkan 1.1 and Vulkan 1.0 Specifications from this branch.
=== `1.0` Branch Is Obsolete
The `1.0` branch in which the 1.0 Specification was previously maintained is
now obsolete. The `1.0` branch will not be updated going forward, and all
outstanding pull requests or merge requests against the `1.0` branch must be
rebased on, and retargeted to `master`.

Building the Specification and Reference Pages
----------------------------------------------
As of the 1.0.40 release, we have moved from the old `asciidoc` toolchain to == Building the Specification and Reference Pages
a new one based on `asciidoctor`. See `doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc` for
more information on installing the toolchain and building the Specification.
Generating Headers and Related Files The document sources are marked up in `asciidoctor` format, and we use
------------------------------------ asciidoctor and related toolchain components to generate output documents.
See `doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc` for more information on installing the
toolchain and building the Specification.
The header file (`src/vulkan/vulkan.h`) and many parts of the specification
and reference page documents are generated from descriptions in the XML API
Registry (`src/spec/vk.xml`). The generated files, with the exception of
`vulkan.h`, are not checked into the repository. If you change `vk.xml`, you
can regenerate the header by going to `src/spec` and running:
$ make clobber install == Generating Headers and Related Files
The header files (`src/vulkan/vulkan*.h`) and many parts of the
specification and reference page documents are generated from descriptions
in the XML API Registry (`src/spec/vk.xml`). The generated files, with the
exception of header files, are not checked into the repository. If you
change `vk.xml`, you can regenerate the header by going to `src/spec` and
running:
$ make clean install
