Zebediah Figura 83c67e76ff include: Add basic documentation for vkd3d_types.h.
This is built on Doxygen. I'm not personally attached to Doxygen, but it was
easy enough to set up and write for, and I've found its compiled HTML to be
reasonably legible.

Note that Doxygen does allow for specifying documentation in external files,
if keeping the documentation out of the header is desired.

=============================
The vkd3d 3D Graphics Library
=============================

Vkd3d is a 3D graphics library built on top of Vulkan. It has an API very
similar, but not identical, to Direct3D 12.

==============
Building vkd3d
==============

Vkd3d depends on SPIRV-Headers and Vulkan-Headers (>= 1.1.113).

Vkd3d generates some of its headers from IDL files. If you are using the
release tarballs, then these headers are pre-generated and are included. If
you are building from git, then they will be generated at build-time using
widl. By default, vkd3d will use the widl found in `PATH'. If widl is not
available or is not recent (>= 3.20), then you can build Wine with `make
tools/widl' to avoid building all of Wine. You can then point vkd3d's
configure at that widl binary with `WIDL="/path/to/widl"'.

For release builds, you may want to define NDEBUG. If you do not need debug log
messages, you may also consider VKD3D_NO_TRACE_MESSAGES and
VKD3D_NO_DEBUG_MESSAGES. For example, you can pass `CPPFLAGS="-DNDEBUG
-DVKD3D_NO_TRACE_MESSAGES"' to configure.

===========
Using vkd3d
===========

Vkd3d can be used by projects that target Direct3D 12 as a drop-in replacement
at build-time with some modest source modifications.

If vkd3d is available when building Wine, then Wine will use it to support
Direct3D 12 applications.

=====================
Environment variables
=====================

Most of the environment variables used by vkd3d are for debugging purposes. The
environment variables are not considered a part of API and might be changed or
removed in the future versions of vkd3d.

Some of debug variables are lists of elements. Elements must be separated by
commas or semicolons.

 * VKD3D_CONFIG - a list of options that change the behavior of libvkd3d.
    * vk_debug - enables Vulkan debug extensions.

 * VKD3D_DEBUG - controls the debug level for log messages produced by
   libvkd3d. Accepts the following values: none, err, fixme, warn, trace.

 * VKD3D_VULKAN_DEVICE - a zero-based device index. Use to force the selected
   Vulkan device.

 * VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS - a list of Vulkan extensions that libvkd3d should
   not use even if available.

 * VKD3D_SHADER_DEBUG - controls the debug level for log messages produced by
   libvkd3d-shader. See VKD3D_DEBUG for accepted values.

 * VKD3D_SHADER_DUMP_PATH - path where shader bytecode is dumped.

 * VKD3D_TEST_DEBUG - enables additional debug messages in tests. Set to 0, 1
   or 2.

 * VKD3D_TEST_FILTER - a filter string. Only the tests whose names matches the
   filter string will be run, e.g. VKD3D_TEST_FILTER=clear_render_target.
   Useful for debugging or developing new tests.

 * VKD3D_TEST_PLATFORM - can be set to "wine", "windows" or "other". The test
   platform controls the behavior of todo(), todo_if(), bug_if() and broken()
   conditions in tests.

 * VKD3D_TEST_BUG - set to 0 to disable bug_if() conditions in tests.
