.SS DESCRIPTION

Buffer objects are reference counted.
The \f[C]rtcReleaseBuffer\f[R] function decrements the reference count
of the passed buffer object (\f[C]buffer\f[R] argument).
When the reference count falls to 0, the buffer gets destroyed.
.SS EXIT STATUS
.PP
On failure an error code is set that can be queried using
\f[C]rtcGetDeviceError\f[R].
