  Description:

  When a CL\_SurfacePriority class is set to CL\_Surface's priority handler (CL\_Surface::set\_priority\_handler), manage\_surface() is called when a surface is created (with CL\_Surface::create). The actual surface created is passed as a parameter to manage\_surface(), and the CL\_Surface pointer returned from manage\_surface() is retured from CL\_Surface::create(). !param surf - Surface passed from CL\_Surface::create().

  ```
  Return value:
