KeywordDeclarationOverride

Description

Shader build settings data element to override keyword declarations.

A KeywordDeclarationOverride struct contains data that either disables or enables the keywords in a set, overrides the keyword type of a set of keywords, or strips the keywords from the build.

Additional resources: ShaderBuildSettings.
