```
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
```

**typedef struct SDL\_GPUBufferCreateInfo** **{**     **SDL\_GPUBufferUsageFlags usage;  /\*\*\< How the buffer is intended to be used by the client. \*/**     **Uint32 size;                    /\*\*\< The size in bytes of the buffer. \*/**     **SDL\_PropertiesID props;         /\*\*\< A properties ID for extensions. Should be 0 if no extensions are needed. \*/** **} SDL\_GPUBufferCreateInfo;**
