.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP
\fI command_queue \fR
.RS 4
Refers to the command\-queue in which the write command will be queued\&.
\fIcommand_queue\fR
and
\fIbuffer\fR
must be created with the same OpenCL context\&.
.RE
.PP
\fI buffer \fR
.RS 4
Refers to a valid buffer object\&.
.RE
.PP
\fI blocking_write \fR
.RS 4
Indicates if the write operations are
\fIblocking\fR
or
\fInonblocking\fR\&.
.sp
If
\fIblocking_write\fR
is
\fBCL_TRUE\fR, the OpenCL implementation copies the data referred to by
\fIptr\fR
and enqueues the write operation in the command\-queue\&. The memory pointed to by
\fIptr\fR
can be reused by the application after the
\fBclEnqueueWriteBuffer\fR
call returns\&.
.sp
If
\fIblocking_write\fR
is
\fBCL_FALSE\fR, the OpenCL implementation will use
\fIptr\fR
to perform a nonblocking write\&. As the write is non\-blocking the implementation can return immediately\&. The memory pointed to by
\fIptr\fR
cannot be reused by the application after the call returns\&. The
\fIevent\fR
argument returns an event object which can be used to query the execution status of the write command\&. When the write command has completed, the memory pointed to by
\fIptr\fR
can then be reused by the application\&.
.RE
.PP
\fI offset \fR
.RS 4
The offset in bytes in the buffer object to write to\&.
.RE
.PP
\fI size \fR
.RS 4
The size in bytes of data being written\&.
.RE
.PP
\fI ptr \fR
.RS 4
The pointer to buffer in host memory where data is to be written from\&.
.RE
.PP
\fI \fR\fI\fR\fI event_wait_list \fR, \fI \fR\fI\fR\fI num_events_in_wait_list \fR
.RS 4

\fIevent_wait_list\fR
and
\fInum_events_in_wait_list\fR
specify events that need to complete before this particular command can be executed\&. If
\fIevent_wait_list\fR
is NULL, then this particular command does not wait on any event to complete\&. If
\fIevent_wait_list\fR
is NULL,
\fInum_events_in_wait_list\fR
must be 0\&. If
\fIevent_wait_list\fR
is not NULL, the list of events pointed to by
\fIevent_wait_list\fR
must be valid and
\fInum_events_in_wait_list\fR
must be greater than 0\&. The events specified in
\fIevent_wait_list\fR
act as synchronization points\&. The context associated with events in
\fIevent_wait_list\fR
and
\fIcommand_queue\fR
must be the same\&. The memory associated with
\fIevent_wait_list\fR
can be reused or freed after the function returns\&.
.RE
.PP
\fI event \fR
.RS 4
Returns an event object that identifies this particular write command and can be used to query or queue a wait for this particular command to complete\&.
\fIevent\fR
can be NULL in which case it will not be possible for the application to query the status of this command or queue a wait for this command to complete\&.

Calling
\fBclEnqueueWriteBuffer\fR
to update the latest bits in a region of the buffer object with the
\fIptr\fR
argument value set to
\fIhost_ptr\fR
+
\fIoffset\fR, where
\fIhost_ptr\fR
is a pointer to the memory region specified when the buffer object being written is created with
\fBCL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR\fR, must meet the following requirements in order to avoid undefined behavior:
.sp

contains the latest bits when the enqueued write command begins execution\&.
