* ``PIPE_CAP_PRIMITIVE_RESTART``: Whether primitive restart is supported.
* ``PIPE_CAP_INDEP_BLEND_ENABLE``: Whether per-rendertarget blend enabling and channel
  masks are supported. If 0, then the first rendertarget's blend mask is
  replicated across all MRTs.

  flag supported by the driver?  If not, the state tracker will insert
  clamping code into the fragment shaders when needed.

* ``PIPE_CAP_MIXED_COLORBUFFER_FORMATS``: Whether mixed colorbuffer formats are
  supported, e.g. RGBA8 and RGBA32F as the first and second colorbuffer, resp.
* ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_COLOR_UNCLAMPED``: Whether the driver is capable of
  outputting unclamped vertex colors from a vertex shader. If unsupported,
  the vertex colors are always clamped. This is the default for DX9 hardware.
* ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_COLOR_CLAMPED``: Whether the driver is capable of
  clamping vertex colors when they come out of a vertex shader, as specified
  by the pipe_rasterizer_state::clamp_vertex_color flag.  If unsupported,
  the vertex colors are never clamped. This is the default for DX10 hardware.
  If both clamped and unclamped CAPs are supported, the clamping can be
  controlled through pipe_rasterizer_state.  If the driver cannot do vertex
  color clamping, the state tracker may insert clamping code into the vertex
  shader.
* ``PIPE_CAP_GLSL_FEATURE_LEVEL``: Whether the driver supports features
  equivalent to a specific GLSL version. E.g. for GLSL 1.3, report 130.
* ``PIPE_CAP_QUADS_FOLLOW_PROVOKING_VERTEX_CONVENTION``: Whether quads adhere to
  the flatshade_first setting in ``pipe_rasterizer_state``.
* ``PIPE_CAP_USER_VERTEX_BUFFERS``: Whether the driver supports user vertex
  buffers.  If not, the state tracker must upload all data which is not in hw
  resources.  If user-space buffers are supported, the driver must also still
  accept HW resource buffers.
* ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_BUFFER_OFFSET_4BYTE_ALIGNED_ONLY``: This CAP describes a hw
  limitation.  If true, pipe_vertex_buffer::buffer_offset must always be aligned
  to 4.  If false, there are no restrictions on the offset.
* ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_BUFFER_STRIDE_4BYTE_ALIGNED_ONLY``: This CAP describes a hw
  limitation.  If true, pipe_vertex_buffer::stride must always be aligned to 4.
  If false, there are no restrictions on the stride.
* ``PIPE_CAP_VERTEX_ELEMENT_SRC_OFFSET_4BYTE_ALIGNED_ONLY``: This CAP describes
  a hw limitation.  If true, pipe_vertex_element::src_offset must always be
  aligned to 4.  If false, there are no restrictions on src_offset.
* ``PIPE_CAP_COMPUTE``: Whether the implementation supports the
  compute entry points defined in pipe_context and pipe_screen.
* ``PIPE_CAP_USER_INDEX_BUFFERS``: Whether user index buffers are supported.
  If not, the state tracker must upload all indices which are not in hw
  resources.  If user-space buffers are supported, the driver must also still
  accept HW resource buffers.
* ``PIPE_CAP_USER_CONSTANT_BUFFERS``: Whether user-space constant buffers
  are supported.  If not, the state tracker must put constants into HW
  resources/buffers.  If user-space constant buffers are supported, the
  driver must still accept HW constant buffers also.
* ``PIPE_CAP_CONSTANT_BUFFER_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT``: Describes the required
  alignment of pipe_constant_buffer::buffer_offset.
* ``PIPE_CAP_START_INSTANCE``: Whether the driver supports
  pipe_draw_info::start_instance.
* ``PIPE_CAP_QUERY_TIMESTAMP``: Whether PIPE_QUERY_TIMESTAMP and
  the pipe_screen::get_timestamp hook are implemented.

  for rendering are also supported for texturing.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MIN_MAP_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT``: The minimum alignment that should be
  expected for a pointer returned by transfer_map if the resource is
  PIPE_BUFFER. In other words, the pointer returned by transfer_map is
  always aligned to this value.
* ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_BUFFER_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT``: Describes the required
  alignment for pipe_sampler_view::u.buf.first_element, in bytes.
  If a driver does not support first/last_element, it should return 0.
* ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_TEXCOORD``: This CAP describes a hw limitation.
  If true, the hardware cannot replace arbitrary shader inputs with sprite
  coordinates and hence the inputs that are desired to be replaceable must
  be declared with TGSI_SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD instead of TGSI_SEMANTIC_GENERIC.
  The rasterizer's sprite_coord_enable state therefore also applies to the
  TEXCOORD semantic.
  Also, TGSI_SEMANTIC_PCOORD becomes available, which labels a fragment shader
  input that will always be replaced with sprite coordinates.
* ``PIPE_CAP_PREFER_BLIT_BASED_TEXTURE_TRANSFER``: Whether it is preferable
  to use a blit to implement a texture transfer which needs format conversions
  and swizzling in state trackers. Generally, all hardware drivers with
  dedicated memory should return 1 and all software rasterizers should return 0.
* ``PIPE_CAP_QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTICS``: Whether PIPE_QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTICS
  is supported.
* ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR_QUIRK``: Bitmask indicating whether special
  considerations have to be given to the interaction between the border color
  in the sampler object and the sampler view used with it.
  If PIPE_QUIRK_TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR_SWIZZLE_R600 is set, the border color
  may be affected in undefined ways for any kind of permutational swizzle
  (any swizzle XYZW where X/Y/Z/W are not ZERO, ONE, or R/G/B/A respectively)
  in the sampler view.
  If PIPE_QUIRK_TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR_SWIZZLE_NV50 is set, the border color
  state should be swizzled manually according to the swizzle in the sampler
  view it is intended to be used with, or herein undefined results may occur
  for permutational swizzles.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_BUFFER_SIZE``: The maximum accessible size with
  a buffer sampler view, in bytes.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_VIEWPORTS``: The maximum number of viewports (and scissors
  since they are linked) a driver can support. Returning 0 is equivalent
  to returning 1 because every driver has to support at least a single
  viewport/scissor combination.
* ``PIPE_CAP_ENDIANNESS``:: The endianness of the device.  Either
  PIPE_ENDIAN_BIG or PIPE_ENDIAN_LITTLE.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MIXED_FRAMEBUFFER_SIZES``: Whether it is allowed to have
  different sizes for fb color/zs attachments. This controls whether
  ARB_framebuffer_object is provided.
* ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_VS_LAYER``: Whether TGSI_SEMANTIC_LAYER is supported
  as a vertex shader output.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_GEOMETRY_OUTPUT_VERTICES``: The maximum number of vertices
  output by a single invocation of a geometry shader.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_GEOMETRY_TOTAL_OUTPUT_COMPONENTS``: The maximum number of
  vertex components output by a single invocation of a geometry shader.
  This is the product of the number of attribute components per vertex and
  the number of output vertices.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_GATHER_COMPONENTS``: Max number of components
  in format that texture gather can operate on. 1 == RED, ALPHA etc,
  4 == All formats.
* ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_GATHER_SM5``: Whether the texture gather
  hardware implements the SM5 features, component selection,
  shadow comparison, and run-time offsets.
* ``PIPE_CAP_BUFFER_MAP_PERSISTENT_COHERENT``: Whether
  PIPE_TRANSFER_PERSISTENT and PIPE_TRANSFER_COHERENT are supported
  for buffers.
* ``PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_QUERY_LOD``: Whether the ``LODQ`` instruction is
  supported.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MIN_TEXTURE_GATHER_OFFSET``: The minimum offset that can be used
  in conjunction with a texture gather opcode.
* ``PIPE_CAP_MAX_TEXTURE_GATHER_OFFSET``: The maximum offset that can be used
  in conjunction with a texture gather opcode.
* ``PIPE_CAP_SAMPLE_SHADING``: Whether there is support for per-sample
  shading. The context->set_min_samples function will be expected to be
  implemented.


.. _pipe_capf:

* ``PIPE_SHADER_CAP_MAX_CONST_BUFFERS``: Maximum number of constant buffers that can be bound
  to any shader stage using ``set_constant_buffer``. If 0 or 1, the pipe will
  only permit binding one constant buffer per shader, and the shaders will
  not permit two-dimensional access to constants.

If a value greater than 0 is returned, the driver can have multiple
constant buffers bound to shader stages. The CONST register file can
be accessed with two-dimensional indices, like in the example below.

DCL CONST[0][0..7]       # declare first 8 vectors of constbuf 0
DCL CONST[3][0]          # declare first vector of constbuf 3
MOV OUT[0], CONST[0][3]  # copy vector 3 of constbuf 0

For backwards compatibility, one-dimensional access to CONST register
file is still supported. In that case, the constbuf index is assumed
to be 0.

pipe_screen::get_compute_param.

* ``PIPE_COMPUTE_CAP_IR_TARGET``: A description of the target of the form

  units.  Value type: ``uint64_t []``.
* ``PIPE_COMPUTE_CAP_MAX_THREADS_PER_BLOCK``: Maximum number of threads that
  a single block can contain.  Value type: ``uint64_t``.
  This may be less than the product of the components of MAX_BLOCK_SIZE and is
  usually limited by the number of threads that can be resident simultaneously
  on a compute unit.
* ``PIPE_COMPUTE_CAP_MAX_GLOBAL_SIZE``: Maximum size of the GLOBAL
  resource.  Value type: ``uint64_t``.
* ``PIPE_COMPUTE_CAP_MAX_LOCAL_SIZE``: Maximum size of the LOCAL
  resource.  Value type: ``uint64_t``.

  clock in MHz. Value type: ``uint32_t``

.. _pipe_bind:

PIPE_BIND_*
^^^^^^^^^^^

These flags indicate how a resource will be used and are specified at resource
creation time. Resources may be used in different roles
during their lifecycle. Bind flags are cumulative and may be combined to create
a resource which can be used for multiple things.
Depending on the pipe driver's memory management and these bind flags,
resources might be created and handled quite differently.

* ``PIPE_BIND_RENDER_TARGET``: A color buffer or pixel buffer which will be
  rendered to.  Any surface/resource attached to pipe_framebuffer_state::cbufs
  must have this flag set.
* ``PIPE_BIND_DEPTH_STENCIL``: A depth (Z) buffer and/or stencil buffer. Any
  depth/stencil surface/resource attached to pipe_framebuffer_state::zsbuf must
  have this flag set.
* ``PIPE_BIND_BLENDABLE``: Used in conjunction with PIPE_BIND_RENDER_TARGET to
  query whether a device supports blending for a given format.
  If this flag is set, surface creation may fail if blending is not supported
  for the specified format. If it is not set, a driver may choose to ignore
  blending on surfaces with formats that would require emulation.
* ``PIPE_BIND_DISPLAY_TARGET``: A surface that can be presented to screen. Arguments to
  pipe_screen::flush_front_buffer must have this flag set.
* ``PIPE_BIND_SAMPLER_VIEW``: A texture that may be sampled from in a fragment
  or vertex shader.
* ``PIPE_BIND_VERTEX_BUFFER``: A vertex buffer.
* ``PIPE_BIND_INDEX_BUFFER``: An vertex index/element buffer.

* ``PIPE_BIND_CUSTOM``:
* ``PIPE_BIND_SCANOUT``: A front color buffer or scanout buffer.
* ``PIPE_BIND_SHARED``: A sharable buffer that can be given to another
  process.
* ``PIPE_BIND_GLOBAL``: A buffer that can be mapped into the global
  address space of a compute program.
* ``PIPE_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE``: A buffer or texture that can be
  bound to the graphics pipeline as a shader resource.
* ``PIPE_BIND_COMPUTE_RESOURCE``: A buffer or texture that can be
  bound to the compute program as a shader resource.

.. _pipe_usage:

PIPE_USAGE_*
^^^^^^^^^^^^

The PIPE_USAGE enums are hints about the expected usage pattern of a resource.
Note that drivers must always support read and write CPU access at any time
no matter which hint they got.

* ``PIPE_USAGE_DEFAULT``: Optimized for fast GPU access.
* ``PIPE_USAGE_IMMUTABLE``: Optimized for fast GPU access and the resource is
  not expected to be mapped or changed (even by the GPU) after the first upload.
* ``PIPE_USAGE_DYNAMIC``: Expect frequent write-only CPU access. What is
  uploaded is expected to be used at least several times by the GPU.
* ``PIPE_USAGE_STREAM``: Expect frequent write-only CPU access. What is
  uploaded is expected to be used only once by the GPU.
* ``PIPE_USAGE_STAGING``: Optimized for fast CPU access.

get_param
^^^^^^^^^

Get an integer/boolean screen parameter.

**param** is one of the :ref:`PIPE_CAP` names.

.. _get_paramf:

get_paramf
^^^^^^^^^^

Get a floating-point screen parameter.

**param** is one of the :ref:`PIPE_CAP` names.

context_create
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Create a pipe_context.

**priv** is private data of the caller, which may be put to various
unspecified uses, typically to do with implementing swapbuffers
and/or front-buffer rendering.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Determine if a resource in the given format can be used in a specific manner.

**format** the resource format

**target** one of the PIPE_TEXTURE_x flags

**geom_flags** is a bitmask of PIPE_TEXTURE_GEOM_x flags.

Returns TRUE if all usages can be satisfied.


can_create_resource
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Check if a resource can actually be created (but don't actually allocate any
memory).  This is used to implement OpenGL's proxy textures.  Typically, a
driver will simply check if the total size of the given resource is less than
some limit.


.. _resource_create:

resource_create
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Create a new resource from a template.
The following fields of the pipe_resource must be specified in the template:

**target** one of the pipe_texture_target enums.
Note that PIPE_BUFFER and PIPE_TEXTURE_X are not really fundamentally different.
Modern APIs allow using buffers as shader resources.

**format** one of the pipe_format enums.

**width0** the width of the base mip level of the texture or size of the buffer.

**height0** the height of the base mip level of the texture
(1 for 1D or 1D array textures).

**depth0** the depth of the base mip level of the texture
(1 for everything else).

**array_size** the array size for 1D and 2D array textures.
For cube maps this must be 6, for other textures 1.

**last_level** the last mip map level present.

**nr_samples** the nr of msaa samples. 0 (or 1) specifies a resource
which isn't multisampled.

**usage** one of the PIPE_USAGE flags.

**bind** bitmask of the PIPE_BIND flags.

**flags** bitmask of PIPE_RESOURCE_FLAG flags.



resource_destroy
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Destroy a resource. A resource is destroyed if it has no more references.



get_timestamp
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Query a timestamp in nanoseconds. The returned value should match
PIPE_QUERY_TIMESTAMP. This function returns immediately and doesn't
wait for rendering to complete (which cannot be achieved with queries).



get_driver_query_info
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Return a driver-specific query. If the **info** parameter is NULL,
the number of available queries is returned.  Otherwise, the driver
query at the specified **index** is returned in **info**.
The function returns non-zero on success.
The driver-specific query is described with the pipe_driver_query_info
structure.
