:ref:`Depth, Stencil, & Alpha` testing or shader KILL instructions.
The result is an unsigned 64-bit integer.
+In cases where a boolean result of an occlusion query is enough,
+``PIPE_QUERY_OCCLUSION_PREDICATE`` should be used. It is just like
+``PIPE_QUERY_OCCLUSION_COUNTER`` except that the result is a boolean
+value of FALSE for cases where COUNTER would result in 0 and TRUE
+for all other cases.
Another type of query, ``PIPE_QUERY_TIME_ELAPSED``, returns the amount of
time, in nanoseconds, the context takes to perform operations.
