The root signature defines what resources are bound to the graphics pipeline. A root signature is configured by the app and links command lists to the resources the shaders require. Currently, there is one graphics and one compute root signature per app.

## Requirements

**Header:** d3d12\_xs.h or d3d12\_x.h\
**Library:** d3d12\_xs.lib or d3d12\_x.lib\
**Supported Platforms**: XBOX Series consoles and XBOX One family
