+ <function>glQueryCounter</function> causes the GL to record the current time into the query object named <parameter>id</parameter>.
+ <parameter>target</parameter> must be <constant>GL_TIMESTAMP</constant>. The time is recorded after all previous commands on the
+ GL client and server state and the framebuffer have been fully realized. When the time is recorded, the query result for that object
+ is marked available. <function>glQueryCounter</function> timer queries can be used within a <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBeginQuery</refentrytitle></citerefentry> /
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEndQuery</refentrytitle></citerefentry> block where the target is <constant>GL_TIME_ELAPSED</constant> and it does
