=== Description

This extension adds two related features.

Firstly, support for the following SPIR-V extension in Vulkan is added:

  * `SPV_AMD_texture_gather_bias_lod`

Secondly, the extension allows the application to query which formats can be
used together with the new function prototypes introduced by the SPIR-V
extension.

=== New SPIR-V Capabilities

  * <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-ImageGatherBiasLodAMD,
    code:ImageGatherBiasLodAMD>>

=== Examples

[source,c++]
