// Provided by VK_EXT_display_control
VkResult vkDisplayPowerControlEXT(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkDisplayKHR                                display,
    const VkDisplayPowerInfoEXT*                pDisplayPowerInfo);

Parameters

  • device is a logical device associated with display.

  • display is the display whose power state is modified.

  • pDisplayPowerInfo is a pointer to a VkDisplayPowerInfoEXT structure specifying the new power state of display.
