Jon Leech e2d981c029 Change log for July 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.20 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 20 for this
    update.

Github Issues:

  * Replaced existing reference pages by text automatically extracted
    from the specification source, or generated from vk.xml in some
    cases. This isn't a complete solution for the reference pages, but
    puts them in a much better state. The ref pages (only) are now
    placed under a CC BY open source license, which is more current than
    the obsolete license previously used.

    Further improvements to the pages should not edit them directly, but
    instead concentrate on the specification source from which the ref
    pages are being extracted (public issues 44, 55, 160; internal issue
    389).

=======================
Name

VkImageUsageFlagBits - Bitmask specifying intended usage of an image
C Specification
---------------
// refBegin VkImageUsageFlagBits - Bitmask specifying intended usage of an image
The intended usage of an image is specified by the bitmask
slink:VkImageCreateInfo::pname:usage. Bits which can: be set include:
include::../enums/VkImageUsageFlagBits.txt[]
Description
-----------
These bits have the following meanings:
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT indicates that the image can: be
used as the source of a transfer command.
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT indicates that the image
can: be used as the destination of a transfer command.
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT indicates that the image can: be used
to create a sname:VkImageView suitable for occupying a
sname:VkDescriptorSet slot either of type
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE or
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER, and be sampled by a
shader.
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_STORAGE_BIT indicates that the image can: be used
to create a sname:VkImageView suitable for occupying a
sname:VkDescriptorSet slot of type
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE.
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT indicates that the image can:
be used to create a sname:VkImageView suitable for use as a color or
resolve attachment in a sname:VkFramebuffer.
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT indicates that the
image can: be used to create a sname:VkImageView suitable for use as a
depth/stencil attachment in a sname:VkFramebuffer.
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT indicates that the memory
bound to this image will have been allocated with the
ename:VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT (see <<memory>> for more
detail). If this is set, then bits other than
ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT,
ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT, and
ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT mustnot: be set.
* ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT indicates that the image can:
be used to create a sname:VkImageView suitable for occupying
sname:VkDescriptorSet slot of type
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT; be read from a shader as an
input attachment; and be used as an input attachment in a framebuffer.
