    // Provided by VK_EXT_debug_marker
    void vkCmdDebugMarkerInsertEXT(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkDebugMarkerMarkerInfoEXT*           pMarkerInfo);

## Parameters

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

- `pMarkerInfo` is a pointer to a VkDebugMarkerMarkerInfoEXT structure specifying the parameters of the marker to insert.
