Revision 974235 of PerformanceMark

<div>{{APIRef("User Timing API")}}</div>

<p><code><strong>PerformanceMark</strong></code> is an <em>abstract</em> interface for {{domxref("PerformanceEntry","performance entries")}} with an {{domxref("PerformanceEntry.entryType","entry type")}} of "<code>mark</code>". Entries of this type are created by calling {{domxref("Performance.mark","performance.mark()")}} to add a <em>named</em> {{domxref("DOMHighResTimeStamp","timestamp")}} (the <em>mark</em>) to the browser's <em>performance timeline</em>.</p>

<p class="note">The <code>PerformanceMark</code> interface has no properties, no methods nor any constructors. However, it qualifies and constrains the following {{domxref("PerformanceEntry")}} properties for "<code>mark</code>" type {{domxref("PerformanceEntry","performance entries")}}: {{domxref("PerformanceEntry.name","name")}}, {{domxref("PerformanceEntry.entryType","entryType")}}, {{domxref("PerformanceEntry.startTime","startTime")}} and {{domxref("PerformanceEntry.duration","duration")}}.</p>

<h2 id="Properties">Properties</h2>

<p>This interface has no properties but it extends the following {{domxref("PerformanceEntry")}} properties by qualifying/constrainting the properties as follows:</p>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("PerformanceEntry.entryType","entryType")}}</dt>
 <dd>Set to "<code>mark</code>".</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PerformanceEntry.name","name")}}</dt> 
 <dd>Set to the the <code>name</code> given to the mark when it was created via a call to {{domxref("Performance.mark()","performance.mark()")}}.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PerformanceEntry.startTime","startTime")}}</dt>
 <dd>Set to the {{domxref("DOMHighResTimeStamp","timestamp")}} when {{domxref("Performance.mark()","performance.mark()")}} was called.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PerformanceEntry.duration","duration")}}</dt>
 <dd>Set to "<code>0</code>" (a mark has no <em>duration</em>).</dd>
