## C Specification

The `VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_performance_query
    typedef struct VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionKHR {
        VkStructureType                            sType;
        void*                                      pNext;
        VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionFlagsKHR    flags;
        char                                       name[VK_MAX_DESCRIPTION_SIZE];
        char                                       category[VK_MAX_DESCRIPTION_SIZE];
        char                                       description[VK_MAX_DESCRIPTION_SIZE];
    } VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionFlagBitsKHR indicating the usage behavior for the counter.

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

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

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

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER_DESCRIPTION_KHR`

- VUID-VkPerformanceCounterDescriptionKHR-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`
