## C Specification

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

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_2

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_driver_properties
    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.
