- sType – the type of this structure.
- pNext – NULL or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
- flags – reserved for future use.
- pApplicationInfo – NULL or a pointer to an instance of VkApplicationInfo. If not NULL, this information helps implementations recognize behavior inherent to classes of applications. VkApplicationInfo is defined in detail below.
- enabledLayerCount – the number of global layers to enable.
- ppEnabledLayerNames – a pointer to an array of enabledLayerCount null-terminated UTF-8 strings containing the names of layers to enable for the created instance. See the Layers section for further details.
