# vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT - Release full-screen exclusive mode from a swapchain

## C Specification

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

    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.

## Description

| Note Applications will not be able to present to `swapchain` after this call until exclusive full-screen access is reacquired. This is usually useful to handle when an application is minimised or otherwise intends to stop presenting for a time.

Valid Usage

- `swapchain` must not be in the retired state

- `swapchain` must be a swapchain created with a VkSurfaceFullScreenExclusiveInfoEXT structure, with `fullScreenExclusive` set to `VK_FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_APPLICATION_CONTROLLED_EXT`
