Description:

Function Type: Flushing Execution

This function adds buffers to a stream. Streams must have at least one buffer to be usable. After the producer creates buffers for a stream, or after it attaches buffers to a stream, it must call screen_destroy_stream_buffers() before calling screen_create_stream_buffers() again. Buffers are created with the size of SCREEN_PROPERTY_BUFFER_SIZE as set on the stream.

Before calling this function, ensure that you set the SCREEN_PROPERTY_USAGE property on the stream to indicate your intended usage of the stream's buffer(s). For example, to retrieve SCREEN_PROPERTY_POINTER from the buffer(s), you must have set the SCREEN_PROPERTY_USAGE property to include the SCREEN_USAGE_READ and/or SCREEN_USAGE_WRITE flags on the stream prior to calling screen_create_stream_buffers().

Returns:

0 if successful, or -1 if an error occurred (errno is set; refer to errno.h for more details).
