The Vulkan Profiles Toolset is a collection of tools delivered with the Vulkan SDK for Vulkan application developers to leverage Vulkan Profiles while developing a Vulkan application[cite: 7].

- vkprofiles commande lines reference: Command-line guide and options reference for the
vkprofilestool (validate,schema,convert,merge,library,doc). - Vulkan Profiles Tools Whitepaper: Detailed whitepaper about the Vulkan Profiles Tools[cite: 7].

Please see the CONTRIBUTING.md file in this repository for more details[cite: 7].
BUILD.md provides instructions to build the repository, which allows regenerating the Vulkan Profiles Toolset against new Vulkan Header API version and with supports of new profiles or updated profiles[cite: 7].
Updates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: v<version> (e.g., v1.3.266)[cite: 7].
Note: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags[cite: 7]. SDK tags follow the vulkan-sdk-<version>.<patch> format (e.g., vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0)[cite: 7].
This scheme was adopted following the 1.3.266 Vulkan specification release[cite: 7].
