.SS DESCRIPTION
.PP
Geometry objects are reference counted.
The \f[C]rtcRetainGeometry\f[] function increments the reference count
of the passed geometry object (\f[C]geometry\f[] argument).
This function together with \f[C]rtcReleaseGeometry\f[] allows to use
the internal reference counting in a C++ wrapper class to handle the
ownership of the object.
.SS EXIT STATUS
.PP
On failure an error code is set that can be queried using
\f[C]rtcGetDeviceError\f[].
