synopsis: Meta loader for Vulkan API
description: Volk is a meta-loader for Vulkan.  It allows you to
dynamically load entrypoints
+ required to use Vulkan without linking the Vulkan loader.
Additionally, volk simplifies the
+ use of Vulkan extensions by automatically loading all associated
entrypoints.  Finally, volk
+ enables loading Vulkan entrypoints directly from the driver which
can increase performance by
+ skipping loader dispatch overhead.
