VkBuffer(3) Manual Page

Buffers represent linear arrays of data which are used for various purposes by binding them to a graphics or compute pipeline via descriptor sets or via certain commands, or by directly specifying them as parameters to certain commands.

Buffers are represented by VkBuffer handles:

VkBindBufferMemoryInfo, VkBufferDeviceAddressInfo, VkBufferMemoryBarrier, VkBufferMemoryRequirementsInfo2, VkBufferViewCreateInfo, VkConditionalRenderingBeginInfoEXT, VkDedicatedAllocationMemoryAllocateInfoNV, VkDescriptorBufferInfo, VkGeneratedCommandsInfoNV, VkGeometryAABBNV, VkGeometryTrianglesNV, VkIndirectCommandsStreamNV, VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo, VkSparseBufferMemoryBindInfo, VkStridedBufferRegionKHR, vkBindBufferMemory, vkCmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT, vkCmdBindIndexBuffer, vkCmdBindTransformFeedbackBuffersEXT, vkCmdBindVertexBuffers, vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructureIndirectKHR, vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructureNV, vkCmdCopyBuffer, vkCmdCopyBufferToImage, vkCmdCopyImageToBuffer, vkCmdCopyQueryPoolResults, vkCmdDispatchIndirect, vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect, vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCount, vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCountAMD, vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCountKHR, vkCmdDrawIndirect, vkCmdDrawIndirectByteCountEXT, vkCmdDrawIndirectCount, vkCmdDrawIndirectCountAMD, vkCmdDrawIndirectCountKHR, vkCmdDrawMeshTasksIndirectCountNV, vkCmdDrawMeshTasksIndirectNV, vkCmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT, vkCmdFillBuffer, vkCmdTraceRaysIndirectKHR, vkCmdTraceRaysNV, vkCmdUpdateBuffer, vkCmdWriteBufferMarkerAMD, vkCreateBuffer, vkDestroyBuffer, vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements
