    \class QSGRendererInterface
    \brief An interface providing access to some of the graphics API specific internals
    of the scenegraph.
    \inmodule QtQuick
    \since 5.8

    Renderer interfaces allow accessing graphics API specific functionality in
    the scenegraph. Such internals are not typically exposed. However, when
    integrating custom rendering via QSGRenderNode for example, it may become
    necessary to query certain values, for instance the graphics device (e.g.
    the Direct3D or Vulkan device) that is used by the scenegraph.

    QSGRendererInterface's functions have varying availability. API and
    language queries, like graphicsApi() or shaderType() are always available,
    meaning it is sufficient to construct a QQuickWindow or QQuickView, and the
    graphics API or shading language in use can be queried right after via
    QQuickWindow::rendererInterface(). This guarantees that utilities like the
    GraphicsInfo QML type are able to report the correct values as early as
    possible, without having conditional property values - depending on for
    instance shaderType() - evaluate to unexpected values.

    Engine-specific accessors, like getResource(), are however available only
    after the scenegraph is initialized. Additionally, there may be
    backend-specific limitations on when such functions can be called. The only
    way that is guaranteed to succeed is calling them when the rendering of a
    node (i.e. the preparation of the command list for the next frame) is
    active. In practice this typically means QSGRenderNode::render().

    pointer to an opaque handle that needs to be dereferenced first (for
    example, \c{VkDevice dev = *static_cast<VkDevice *>(result)}). The latter
    is necessary since such handles may have sizes different from a pointer.
