# Interface VulkanDebuggingType

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `VulkanLWJGLDebugging, VulkanLWJGLDebuggingNoOp`

public interface VulkanDebuggingType

Debugging operations that can use the functions exposed by extensions such as `VK_EXT_debug_utils` internally.

Many operations are silent no-ops if the relevant extensions are not present.
