C Specification

Bits which can be set in VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR::flags, specifying parameters of swapchain creation, are:

// Provided by VK_KHR_swapchain
typedef enum VkSwapchainCreateFlagBitsKHR {
  // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1 with VK_KHR_swapchain, VK_KHR_device_group with VK_KHR_swapchain
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_SPLIT_INSTANCE_BIND_REGIONS_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
  // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1 with VK_KHR_swapchain
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT_KHR = 0x00000002,
  // Provided by VK_KHR_swapchain_mutable_format
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_MUTABLE_FORMAT_BIT_KHR = 0x00000004,
  // Provided by VK_EXT_present_timing
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PRESENT_TIMING_BIT_EXT = 0x00000200,
  // Provided by VK_KHR_present_id2
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PRESENT_ID_2_BIT_KHR = 0x00000040,
  // Provided by VK_KHR_present_wait2
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PRESENT_WAIT_2_BIT_KHR = 0x00000080,
  // Provided by VK_KHR_swapchain_maintenance1
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_DEFERRED_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_BIT_KHR = 0x00000008,
  // Provided by VK_EXT_swapchain_maintenance1
    VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_DEFERRED_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_BIT_EXT = VK_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_DEFERRED_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_BIT_KHR,
} VkSwapchainCreateFlagBitsKHR;
