Ahjo.Vulkan.Native

Raw P/Invoke bindings for Vulkan, generated from the canonical Khronos Vulkan-Headers via ClangSharp. 1:1 with the C ABI.

The Vulkan loader is platform-supplied — this package does not bundle a loader binary. A DllImportResolver registered at module-load maps the canonical vulkan-1 library name to the right per-OS soname so DllImport resolves cleanly without consumer setup.

Most people want Ahjo.Vulkan instead

This package exposes the raw C ABI: function pointers, unsafe Vk*Info structs, manual handle release, p-next chains. Useful if you want to write your own wrapper on top, or fine-tune at the ABI layer.

If you just want to use Vulkan from C#, install Ahjo.Vulkan — it takes a dependency on this package and layers an idiomatic ref struct-based API on top.

Install

dotnet add package Ahjo.Vulkan.Native

Runtime requirements

Platform Loader source
Windows GPU drivers ship vulkan-1.dll, or install the Vulkan SDK / VulkanRT
Linux libvulkan1 (Debian/Ubuntu) or distro equivalent
macOS MoltenVK (Vulkan SDK install) — surface bindings shipped, but no Mac CI runner yet

The loader resolver maps vulkan-1 to libvulkan.dylib so DllImport resolves cleanly under MoltenVK. End-to-end Mac validation is pending a runner with real Vulkan drivers.

TFM: net10.0. Native ABI tracks the pinned Vulkan-Headers release version; bumps are minor-version bumps here.

Status

Pre-1.0. The managed surface is generated and stable per Vulkan-Headers release.
