# VkDriverId(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDriverId - Khronos driver IDs

## C Specification

Khronos driver IDs which may be returned in VkPhysicalDeviceDriverProperties::`driverID` are:

    typedef enum VkDriverId {
        VK_DRIVER_ID_AMD_PROPRIETARY = 1,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_AMD_OPEN_SOURCE = 2,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV = 3,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_NVIDIA_PROPRIETARY = 4,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_INTEL_PROPRIETARY_WINDOWS = 5,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_INTEL_OPEN_SOURCE_MESA = 6,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_IMAGINATION_PROPRIETARY = 7,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_QUALCOMM_PROPRIETARY = 8,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_ARM_PROPRIETARY = 9,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_GOOGLE_SWIFTSHADER = 10,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_GGP_PROPRIETARY = 11,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_BROADCOM_PROPRIETARY = 12,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_AMD_PROPRIETARY_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_AMD_PROPRIETARY,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_AMD_OPEN_SOURCE_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_AMD_OPEN_SOURCE,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_NVIDIA_PROPRIETARY_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_NVIDIA_PROPRIETARY,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_INTEL_PROPRIETARY_WINDOWS_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_INTEL_PROPRIETARY_WINDOWS,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_INTEL_OPEN_SOURCE_MESA_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_INTEL_OPEN_SOURCE_MESA,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_IMAGINATION_PROPRIETARY_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_IMAGINATION_PROPRIETARY,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_QUALCOMM_PROPRIETARY_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_QUALCOMM_PROPRIETARY,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_ARM_PROPRIETARY_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_ARM_PROPRIETARY,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_GOOGLE_SWIFTSHADER_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_GOOGLE_SWIFTSHADER,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_GGP_PROPRIETARY_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_GGP_PROPRIETARY,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_BROADCOM_PROPRIETARY_KHR = VK_DRIVER_ID_BROADCOM_PROPRIETARY,
        VK_DRIVER_ID_MAX_ENUM = 0x7FFFFFFF
    } VkDriverId;

or the equivalent

    typedef VkDriverId VkDriverIdKHR;

## Description

| Note Khronos driver IDs may be allocated by vendors at any time. There may be multiple driver IDs for the same vendor, representing different drivers (for e.g. different platforms, proprietary or open source, etc.). Only the latest canonical versions of this Specification, of the corresponding `vk.xml` API Registry, and of the corresponding `vulkan_core.h` header file must contain all reserved Khronos driver IDs. Only driver IDs registered with Khronos are given symbolic names. There may be unregistered driver IDs returned.
