## Name

VK_HEADER_VERSION_COMPLETE - Vulkan header file complete version number

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

`VK_HEADER_VERSION_COMPLETE` is the complete version number of the `vulkan_core.h` header, comprising the major, minor, and patch versions. The major/minor values are kept synchronized with the complete version of the released Specification. This value is intended for use by automated tools to identify exactly which version of the header was used during their generation.

Applications should not use this value as their VkApplicationInfo::`apiVersion`. Instead applications should explicitly select a specific fixed major/minor API version using, for example, one of the `VK_API_VERSION_`*_* values.

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
