VkSurfaceKHR(3)

VkSurfaceKHR - Opaque handle to a surface object

Native platform surface or window objects are abstracted by surface objects, which are represented by VkSurfaceKHR handles:

The VK_KHR_surface extension declares the VkSurfaceKHR object, and provides a function for destroying VkSurfaceKHR objects. Separate platform-specific extensions each provide a function for creating a VkSurfaceKHR object for the respective platform. From the application’s perspective this is an opaque handle, just like the handles of other Vulkan objects.
