SDL_Vulkan_G...tationSupport(3)

💅 SDL_Vulkan_GetPresentationSupport — the tea ☕

okay bestie, so this one lives in the SDL3 FUNCTIONS era of the SDL_Vulkan_G...tationSupport(3) page (yes the title got truncated, it's giving "long name problems", iconic honestly). What it does: queries whether presentation is even supported via a given physical device AND a given queue family. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_Vulkan_GetPresentationSupport — Query support for presentation via a given physical device and queue family.

like… does this device + this queue family combo actually do presentation? asking for a friend. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_vulkan.h>

bool SDL_Vulkan_GetPresentationSupport(VkInstance instance,
                                       VkPhysicalDevice physicalDevice,
                                       Uint32 queueFamilyIndex);

no cap, that's the exact signature, don't @ me. 💖

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The instance must have been created with the extensions returned by SDL_Vulkan_GetInstanceExtensions() enabled.

bestie listen. this is not optional. if your instance wasn't made with those extensions enabled, that's a problem, and not the cute kind. 😭

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

• instance — the Vulkan instance handle. the main character, honestly. 👑
• physicalDevice — a valid Vulkan physical device handle. gotta be valid, we don't do invalid here. ✨
• queueFamilyIndex — a valid queue family index for the given physical device. yes, for that specific device, they're a package deal. 💞

---

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

Returns true if supported, false if unsupported or an error occurred.

so like… true = slay, false = either "nope not supported" or "something went wrong", and the function is not gonna tell you which one, it's mysterious like that. 🙈

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.

so if you're on something older than 3.2.0, sorry babe, no function for you. 💅
