Buffer objects are reference counted.
The \f[C]rtcReleaseBuffer\f[] function decrements the reference count of
the passed buffer object (\f[C]buffer\f[] argument).
When the reference count falls to 0, the buffer gets destroyed.
.SS EXIT STATUS

On failure an error code is set that can be queried using
\f[C]rtcGetDeviceError\f[].
