-                       - Layer extension advertised by xglGetExtension().

+### Print API Calls and Parameter Values
 <build dir>/layer/api_dump.c - print out API calls along with parameter values
+
 <build dir>/layer/api_dump_file.c - Write API calls along with parameter values to xgl_apidump.txt file.
+
 <build dir>/layer/api_dump_no_addr.c - print out API calls along with parameter values but replace any variable addresses with the static string "addr".
-<build dir>/layer/object_track.c - Print object CREATE/USE/DESTROY stats. Individually track objects by category.  XGL_OBJECT_TYPE enum defined in object_track.h.  If a Dbg callback function is registered, this layer will use callback function(s) for reporting, otherwise uses stdout.  Provides custom interface to query number of live objects of given type "XGL_UINT64 objTrackGetObjectCount(XGL_OBJECT_TYPE type)" and a secondary call to return an array of those objects "XGL_RESULT objTrackGetObjects(XGL_OBJECT_TYPE type, XGL_UINT64 objCount, OBJTRACK_NODE* pObjNodeArray)".
-layer/draw_state.c - Report the Descriptor Set, Pipeline State, and dynamic state at each Draw call.  If a Dbg callback function is registered, this layer will use callback function(s) for reporting, otherwise uses stdout.
-layer/mem_tracker.c - Track GPU Memory and any binding it has to objects and/or Cmd Buffers.  Report issues with freeing memory, memory dependencies on Cmd Buffers, and any memory leaks at DestroyDevice time.  If a Dbg callback function is registered, this layer will use callback function(s) for reporting, otherwise uses stdout.

 ## Using Layers
 
-1) Build XGL loader  and i965 icd driver using normal steps (cmake and make)
-2) Place libXGLLayer<name>.so in the same directory as your XGL test or app:
-   cp build/layer/libXGLLayerBasic.so build/layer/libXGLLayerGeneric.so build/tests
-This is required for the Icd loader to be able to scan and enumerate your library.
-3) Specify which Layers to activate by using xglCreateDevice XGL_LAYER_CREATE_INFO struct or environment variable LIBXGL_LAYER_NAMES
-   export LIBXGL_LAYER_NAMES=Basic:Generic;
-   cd build/tests; ./xglinfo

 ## Tips for writing new layers
 
-1) Must implement xglGetProcAddr() (aka GPA);
-2) Must have a local dispatch table to call next layer (see xglLayer.h);
-3) Should implement xglEnumerateLayers() returning layer name when gpu == NULL;
-    otherwise layer name is extracted from library filename by the Loader;
-4) gpu objects must be unwrapped (gpu->nextObject) when passed to next layer;
-5) next layers GPA can be found in the wrapped gpu object;
-6) Loader calls a layer's GPA first  so initialization should occur here;
-7) all entrypoints can be wrapped but only will be called after layer is activated

--layer libraries not yet include loader init functionality for full LD_PRELOAD of

--Since Layers aren't activated until xglCreateDevice, any calls to xglGetExtension()
-    will not report layer extensions unless implemented in the layer;
--layer extensions do NOT need to be enabled in xglCreateDevice to be available;
--no support for apps registering layers, must be discovered via initial scan
