README.adoc
= Vulkan^(R)^ API Documentation Project
This repository contains formal documentation of the Vulkan API. This
includes the Specification of the Vulkan API, including extensions; the
reference ("`man`") pages; the XML API Registry; header files; and related
tools and scripts.
The authoritative public repository is located at
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/ . Issues, proposed fixes for
issues, and other suggested changes should be created using Github.
== Branch Structure
With the release of Vulkan 1.1, the current Specification is now maintained
in the `master` branch of the repository. It is possible to generate both
Vulkan 1.1 and Vulkan 1.0 Specifications from this branch.
=== `1.0` Branch Is Obsolete
The `1.0` branch in which the 1.0 Specification was previously maintained is
now obsolete. The `1.0` branch will not be updated going forward, and all
outstanding pull requests or merge requests against the `1.0` branch must be
rebased on, and retargeted to `master`.
== Directory Structure
The directory structure was changed following the 1.1.70 spec update to move
the specification directory to the root of the repository, and move other
content relative to that. There may be additional cleanup and simplification
in the future.

```
== Building the Specification and Reference Pages
The document sources are marked up in `asciidoctor` format, and we use
asciidoctor and related toolchain components to generate output documents.
See `BUILD.adoc` for more information on installing the toolchain and
building the Specification.
== Generating Headers and Related Files
The header files (`include/vulkan/vulkan*.h`) and many parts of the
specification and reference page documents are generated from descriptions
in the XML API Registry (`xml/vk.xml`). The generated files, with the
exception of header files, are not checked into the repository. If you
change `vk.xml`, you can regenerate the header by going to `xml/` and
running:
$ make clean install
The other generated files are built as required via dependencies in
the top-level `Makefile`.
