## Name

vkCmdInsertDebugUtilsLabelEXT - Insert a label into a command buffer

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

A single debug label can be inserted into a command buffer by calling:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_debug_utils
    void vkCmdInsertDebugUtilsLabelEXT(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT*                 pLabelInfo);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which the command is recorded.

- `pInfo` is a pointer to a VkDebugUtilsLabelEXT structure specifying parameters of the label to insert.

- VUID-vkCmdInsertDebugUtilsLabelEXT-commandBuffer-recording
  `commandBuffer` must be in the recording state

- VUID-vkCmdInsertDebugUtilsLabelEXT-commandBuffer-cmdpool
