<a name="cogl-Buffers.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The CoglBuffer API provides a common interface to manipulate
buffers that have been allocated either via <a class="link" href="cogl-Buffers.html#cogl-pixel-buffer-new" title="cogl_pixel_buffer_new ()"><code class="function">cogl_pixel_buffer_new()</code></a>
or <code class="function">cogl_attribute_buffer_new()</code>. The API allows you to upload data
to these buffers and define usage hints that help Cogl manage your
buffer optimally.
</p>
<p>
Data can either be uploaded by supplying a pointer and size so Cogl
can copy your data, or you can <code class="function">mmap()</code> a CoglBuffer and then you can
copy data to the buffer directly.
</p>
<p>
One of the most common uses for CoglBuffers is to upload texture
data asynchronously since the ability to mmap the buffers into
the CPU makes it possible for another thread to handle the IO
of loading an image file and unpacking it into the mapped buffer
without blocking other Cogl operations.

Maps the buffer into the application address space for direct

zero as the offset and the size of the entire buffer as the size.

<p>
It is strongly recommended that you pass
<code class="literal">COGL_BUFFER_MAP_HINT_DISCARD</code> as a hint if you are going to replace
all the buffer's data. This way if the buffer is currently being
used by the GPU then the driver won't have to stall the CPU and
wait for the hardware to finish because it can instead allocate a
new buffer to map.
</p>

The behaviour is undefined if you access the buffer in a way
conflicting with the <em class="parameter"><code>access</code></em> mask you pass. It is also an error to
release your last reference while the buffer is mapped.

Declares a new <span class="type">CoglPixelBuffer</span> of <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> bytes to contain arrays of
pixels. Once declared, data can be set using <a class="link" href="cogl-Buffers.html#cogl-buffer-set-data" title="cogl_buffer_set_data ()"><code class="function">cogl_buffer_set_data()</code></a>
or by mapping it into the application's address space using

</p>
<p>
If <em class="parameter"><code>data</code></em> isn't <code class="literal">NULL</code> then <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> bytes will be read from <em class="parameter"><code>data</code></em> and
immediately copied into the new buffer.
