# locType

The type of data structure that the `u` field’s `CMProfLoc` union holds—a file specification, a handle, a pointer, or a universal procedure pointer. To specify the type, you use the constants defined in the enumeration described in [Profile Location Type](../1560599-profile_location_type.md).

## Declaration

```occ
short locType;
```
