# VkBuffer(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkBuffer - Opaque handle to a buffer object

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Buffers represent linear arrays of data which are used for various purposes by binding them to a graphics or compute pipeline via descriptor sets or via certain commands, or by directly specifying them as parameters to certain commands.

Buffers are represented by `VkBuffer` handles:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkBuffer)
