Description: thin wrapper for using the NVIDIA binary Vulkan ICD with bumblebee
This library is a thin wrapper around the Vulkan API functions of the
nvidia Vulkan driver. The Vulkan driver misbehaves for example by reading the
DISPLAY environment variable and connecting to that display server. This
library works around that misbehaviour, so the driver can be used with
bumblebee.
