.SS DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \f[C]rtcNewBuffer\f[] function creates a new data buffer object of
specified size in bytes (\f[C]byteSize\f[] argument) that is bound to
the specified device (\f[C]device\f[] argument).
The buffer object is reference counted with an initial reference count
of 1.
The returned buffer object can be released using the
\f[C]rtcReleaseBuffer\f[] API call.
The specified number of bytes are allocated at buffer construction time
and deallocated when the buffer is destroyed.
