# VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionARM(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionARM - Structure providing more detailed information about a counter

## C Specification

The `VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionARM` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_ARM_performance_counters_by_region
    typedef struct VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionARM {
        VkStructureType                            sType;
        void*                                      pNext;
        VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionFlagsARM    flags;
        char                                       name[VK_MAX_DESCRIPTION_SIZE];
    } VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionARM;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `flags` is reserved for future use.

- `name` is an array of size VK_MAX_DESCRIPTION_SIZE, containing a null-terminated UTF-8 string specifying the name of the counter.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionARM-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_DESCRIPTION_ARM

- VUID-VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionARM-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`
