## C Specification

Possible values of VkLayerSettingEXT::`type`, specifying the type of the data returned in VkLayerSettingEXT::`pValues`, are:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_layer_settings
    typedef enum VkLayerSettingTypeEXT {
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_BOOL32_EXT = 0,
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_INT32_EXT = 1,
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_INT64_EXT = 2,
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_UINT32_EXT = 3,
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_UINT64_EXT = 4,
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_FLOAT32_EXT = 5,
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_FLOAT64_EXT = 6,
        VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_STRING_EXT = 7,
    } VkLayerSettingTypeEXT;

## Description

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_BOOL32_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is VkBool32.

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_INT32_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is signed 32-bit integer.

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_INT64_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is signed 64-bit integer.

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_UINT32_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is unsigned 32-bit integer.

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_UINT64_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is unsigned 64-bit integer.

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_FLOAT32_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is 32-bit floating-point.

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_FLOAT64_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is 64-bit floating-point.

- `VK_LAYER_SETTING_TYPE_STRING_EXT` specifies that the layer setting’s type is a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string.
