Where to find Vulkan C++ specification?

Question

Where I can find C++ specification for Vulkan (same like the official C one on Khornos pages), describing the particular Vulkan api primitives and functions? Does it even exist (I was trying to find it with no success)?

Personaly I am using the C api even with C++ as I already got used to its style and it fits my needs perfectly (verbose, but you see everything), but I have to go through the code written by other people using C++ api. Usually Vulkan C++ api is just some syntactic sugar build upon the C api function calls, but sometimes digging through vulkan.hpp and trying to figure out what is going on is really annoying.

I am aware of this: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp

There is no "Vulkan C++ specification". There's a header file containing some functions and types that make using Vulkan more C++-friendly. But those are not part of any actual specification.

The mapping from "VulkanHpp" into regular C Vulkan is pretty obvious in most cases and can be deduced just from the nature of the APIs in question. vk::ImageCreateInfo means the same thing, with the same fields, as VkImageCreateInfo as defined by the Vulkan specification. The C++ wrapper is not trying to confuse users as to how it works.
