Description
An application may wish to reference device memory in multiple Vulkan device instances, in multiple processes, and/or in Metal API. This extension enables an application to export and import Metal handles from Vulkan memory objects such that the underlying resources can be referenced outside the scope of the Vulkan device instance that created them.
