To create a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for a macOS code:NSView, call:
include::../../api/protos/vkCreateMacOSSurfaceMVK.txt[]
* pname:instance is the instance with which to associate the surface.
* pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
slink:VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK structure containing parameters
affecting the creation of the surface object.
* pname:pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the
surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see
<<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>>).
* pname:pSurface points to a slink:VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the
created surface object is returned.

The slink:VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK structure is defined as:
include::../../api/structs/VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:flags is reserved for future use.
* pname:pView is a reference to a code:NSView object which will display
this surface.
This code:NSView must: be backed by a code:CALayer instance of type
code:CAMetalLayer.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-VkMacOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pView-01317]]
pname:pView must: be a valid code:NSView and must: be backed by a
code:CALayer instance of type code:CAMetalLayer.
