18+ Like OpenCL\ |trade |, Vulkan\ |reg | has an Installable Client Driver (ICD)
19+ Loader to allow applications to query and pick the device it deems necessary
20+ instead of relying on a predefined mapping between a chosen display and backing
21+ vendor acceleration implementation. This means that typically an application
22+ that wants to use Vulkan\ |reg | should link against an ICD loader library
23+ instead of directly using a vendor specific library.
24+
25+ A useful tool for debugging Vulkan\ |reg | ICD Loaders and devices is
26+ :command: `vulkaninfo `. This command, when run without any arguments will present
27+ a list of all supported devices, associated parameters, and supported
28+ extensions.
