Expand description

Command buffers.

A command buffer collects a list of commands to be submitted to the device.

Each command buffer has specific capabilities for graphics, compute or transfer operations, and can be either a primary command buffer or a secondary command buffer.

Operations are always initiated by a primary command buffer, but a primary command buffer can contain calls to secondary command buffers that contain snippets of commands that do specific things, similar to function calls.

All the possible commands are exposed by the CommandBuffer trait.
