* # CategoryVulkan
*
* Functions for creating Vulkan surfaces on SDL windows.
*
* For the most part, Vulkan operates independent of SDL, but it benefits from
* a little support during setup.
*
* Use SDL_Vulkan_GetInstanceExtensions() to get platform-specific bits for
* creating a VkInstance, then SDL_Vulkan_GetVkGetInstanceProcAddr() to get
* the appropriate function for querying Vulkan entry points. Then
* SDL_Vulkan_CreateSurface() will get you the final pieces you need to
* prepare for rendering into an SDL_Window with Vulkan.
*
* Unlike OpenGL, most of the details of "context" creation and window buffer
* swapping are handled by the Vulkan API directly, so SDL doesn't provide
* Vulkan equivalents of SDL_GL_SwapWindow(), etc; they aren't necessary.

/**
* Dynamically load the Vulkan loader library.
*
* This should be called after initializing the video driver, but before
* creating any Vulkan windows. If no Vulkan loader library is loaded, the
* default library will be loaded upon creation of the first Vulkan window.
*
* SDL keeps a counter of how many times this function has been successfully
* called, so it is safe to call this function multiple times, so long as it
* is eventually paired with an equivalent number of calls to
* SDL_Vulkan_UnloadLibrary. The `path` argument is ignored unless there is no
* library currently loaded, and and the library isn't actually unloaded until
* there have been an equivalent number of calls to SDL_Vulkan_UnloadLibrary.
*
* It is fairly common for Vulkan applications to link with libvulkan instead
* of explicitly loading it at run time. This will work with SDL provided the
* application links to a dynamic library and both it and SDL use the same
* search path.
*
* If you specify a non-NULL `path`, an application should retrieve all of the
* Vulkan functions it uses from the dynamic library using
* SDL_Vulkan_GetVkGetInstanceProcAddr unless you can guarantee `path` points
* to the same vulkan loader library the application linked to.
*
* On Apple devices, if `path` is NULL, SDL will attempt to find the
* `vkGetInstanceProcAddr` address within all the Mach-O images of the current
* process. This is because it is fairly common for Vulkan applications to
* link with libvulkan (and historically MoltenVK was provided as a static
* library). If it is not found, on macOS, SDL will attempt to load
* `vulkan.framework/vulkan`, `libvulkan.1.dylib`,
* `MoltenVK.framework/MoltenVK`, and `libMoltenVK.dylib`, in that order. On
* iOS, SDL will attempt to load `libMoltenVK.dylib`. Applications using a
* dynamic framework or .dylib must ensure it is included in its application
* bundle.
*
* On non-Apple devices, application linking with a static libvulkan is not
* supported. Either do not link to the Vulkan loader or link to a dynamic
* library version.
*
* \param path the platform dependent Vulkan loader library name or NULL.
* \returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more
* information.
*
* \threadsafety This function is not thread safe.

* \since This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
