# vkCmdBeginQueryIndexedEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkCmdBeginQueryIndexedEXT - Begin an indexed query

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To begin an indexed query, call:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_transform_feedback
    void vkCmdBeginQueryIndexedEXT(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        VkQueryPool                                 queryPool,
        uint32_t                                    query,
        VkQueryControlFlags                         flags,
        uint32_t                                    index);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which this command will be recorded.

- `queryPool` is the query pool that will manage the results of the query.

- `query` is the query index within the query pool that will contain the results.

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkQueryControlFlagBits specifying constraints on the types of queries that can be performed.

- `index` is the query type specific index. When the query type is `VK_QUERY_TYPE_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_STREAM_EXT` or `VK_QUERY_TYPE_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED_EXT`, the index represents the vertex stream.

## Description

The `vkCmdBeginQueryIndexedEXT` command operates the same as the vkCmdBeginQuery command, except that it also accepts a query type specific `index` parameter.

This command defines an execution dependency between other query commands that reference the same query index.

The first synchronization scope includes all commands which reference the queries in `queryPool` indicated by `query` and `index` that occur earlier in submission order.

The second synchronization scope includes all commands which reference the queries in `queryPool` indicated by `query` and `index` that occur later in submission order.

The operation of this command happens after the first scope and happens before the second scope.
