    // Provided by VK_NV_device_diagnostic_checkpoints
    void vkCmdSetCheckpointNV(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const void*                                 pCheckpointMarker);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer that will receive the marker

- `pCheckpointMarker` is an opaque application-provided value that will be associated with the checkpoint.

- VUID-vkCmdSetCheckpointNV-commandBuffer-cmdpool
  The `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must support graphics, compute, or transfer operations

- VUID-vkCmdSetCheckpointNV-videocoding
