+Group Count Query
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Query group counter which can be associated with multiple flows on a specified
+port.
+
+This function allows retrieving of group counters. A group counter is a
+counter which can be shared among multiple flows on a single port or among
+multiple flows on multiple ports within the same switch domain. Data is
+gathered by special actions which must be present in the flow rule
+definition.

+			   struct rte_flow_query_count *count,
+               struct rte_flow_error *error);

+Arguments:
+
+- ``port_id``: port identifier of Ethernet device.
+- ``group_counter_id``: group counter identifier.
+- ``count``: group counter parameters.
+- ``error``: perform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize
+  this structure in case of error only.
+
+Return values:

+- 0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and ``rte_errno`` is set.
