vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT(3)

Name

vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT - Release full-screen exclusive mode from a swapchain

C Specification

To release exclusive full-screen access from a swapchain, call:

// Provided by VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive
VkResult vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkSwapchainKHR                              swapchain);

Parameters

  • device is the device associated with swapchain.

  • swapchain is the swapchain to release exclusive full-screen access from.

  • VUID-vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT-swapchain-parameter
    swapchain must be a valid VkSwapchainKHR handle

  • VUID-vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT-swapchain-parent
