VkCheckpointData2NV(3)

# VkCheckpointData2NV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkCheckpointData2NV - Return structure for command buffer checkpoint data

## C Specification

The VkCheckpointData2NV structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NV_device_diagnostic_checkpoints with VK_VERSION_1_3 or VK_KHR_synchronization2
    typedef struct VkCheckpointData2NV {
        VkStructureType          sType;
        void*                    pNext;
        VkPipelineStageFlags2    stage;
        void*                    pCheckpointMarker;
    } VkCheckpointData2NV;

## Members

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

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

- `stage` indicates a single pipeline stage which the checkpoint marker data refers to.

- `pCheckpointMarker` contains the value of the last checkpoint marker executed in the stage that `stage` refers to.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkCheckpointData2NV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_CHECKPOINT_DATA_2_NV

- VUID-VkCheckpointData2NV-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

The stages at which a checkpoint marker can be executed are implementation-defined and can be queried by calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties2.
