+/**
+ * @brief Interface to describe CBufferObjects.
+ *
+ *        BufferObjects are used to abstract various memory types and present them
+ *        with a generic interface. Typically on a posix system exists the concept
+ *        of Direct Memory Access (DMA) which allows various systems to interact
+ *        with a memory location directly without having to copy the data into
+ *        userspace (ie. from kernel space). These DMA buffers are presented as
+ *        file descriptors (fds) which can be passed around to gain access to
+ *        the buffers memory location.
+ *
+ *        In order to write to these buffer types typically the memory location has
+ *        to be mapped into userspace via a call to mmap (or similar). This presents
+ *        userspace with a memory location that can be initially written to (ie. by
+ *        using memcpy or similar). Depending on the underlying implementation a
+ *        stride might be specified if the memory type requires padding to a certain
+ *        size (such as page size). The stride must be used when copying into the buffer.
+ *
+ *        Some memory implementation may provide special memory layouts in which case
+ *        modifiers are provided that describe tiling or compression. This should be
+ *        transparent to the caller as the data copied into a BufferObject will likely
+ *        be linear. The modifier will be needed when presenting the buffer via DRM or
+ *        EGL even if it is linear.
