This is a tiny crate that converts Vulkan formats to Khronos Data Format Descriptors.

Conversion of Vulkan formats to DFDs is primarily useful for software that wants to write KTX or KTX2 format textures. The format is straightforward to write, with the sole exception of the data format descriptor, which is a complex specification. With this crate, you can write textures in those formats with ease.

Unlike the official Khronos dfdutils package, this crate simply uses a hardcoded table of formats and their associated DFDs. The number of formats is relatively small, so this is the most efficient way to implement this functionality.
