# clEnqueueCopyBufferToImage(3clc)

Enqueues a command to copy a buffer object to an image object.

## NAME

clEnqueueCopyBufferToImage - Enqueues a command to copy a buffer object to an image object.

##

**cl\_int clEnqueueCopyBufferToImage(cl\_command\_queue** *command\_queue***, cl\_mem** *src\_buffer***, cl\_mem** *dst\_image***, size\_t** *src\_offset***, const size\_t \****dst\_origin***, const size\_t \****region***, cl\_uint** *num\_events\_in\_wait\_list***, const cl\_event \****event\_wait\_list***, cl\_event \****event***);**

## PARAMETERS

 *command\_queue*

A valid command-queue. The OpenCL context associated with *command\_queue*, *src\_buffer*, and *dst\_image* must be the same.

 *src\_buffer*

A valid buffer object.

 *dst\_image*

A valid image object.

 *src\_offset*

The offset where to begin copying data from *src\_buffer*.

 *dst\_origin*

Defines the (x, y, z) offset in pixels in the 1D, 2D or 3D image, the (x, y) offset and the image index in the 2D image array or the (x) offset and the image index in the 1D image array. If dst\_image is a 2D image object, *dst\_origin*\[2\] must be 0. If *dst\_image* is a 1D image or 1D image buffer object, *dst\_origin*\[1\] and *dst\_origin*\[2\] must be 0. If *dst\_image* is a 1D image array object, *dst\_origin*\[2\] must be 0. If *dst\_image* is a 1D image array object, *dst\_origin*\[1\] describes the image index in the 1D image array. If *dst\_image* is a 2D image array object, *dst\_origin*\[2\] describes the image index in the 2D image array.

 *region*

Defines the (width, height, depth) in pixels of the 1D, 2D or 3D rectangle, the (width, height) in pixels of the 2D rectangle and the number of images of a 2D image array or the (width) in pixels of the 1D rectangle and the number of images of a 1D image array. If *dst\_image* is a 2D image object, *region*\[2\] must be 1. If *dst\_image* is a 1D image or 1D image buffer object, *region*\[1\] and *region*\[2\] must be 1. If *dst\_image* is a 1D image array object, *region*\[2\] must be 1.

The size in bytes of the region to be copied from *src\_buffer* referred to as *src\_cb* is computed as *width* \* *height* \* *depth* \* *bytes*/*image\_element* if *dst\_image* is a 3D image object, is computed as *width* \* *height* \* *bytes*/*image\_element* if *dst\_image* is a 2D image, is computed as *width* \* *height* \* *arraysize* \* *bytes*/*image\_element* if *dst\_image* is a 2D image array object, is computed as *width* \* *bytes*/*image\_element* if *dst\_image* is a 1D image or 1D image buffer object and is computed as *width* \* *arraysize* \* *bytes*/*image\_element* if *dst\_image* is a 1D image array object.

 *event\_wait\_list ,*  *num\_events\_in\_wait\_list*

Specify events that need to complete before this particular command can be executed. If *event\_wait\_list* is NULL, then this particular command does not wait on any event to complete. If *event\_wait\_list* is NULL, *num\_events\_in\_wait\_list* must be 0. If *event\_wait\_list* is not NULL, the list of events pointed to by *event\_wait\_list* must be valid and *num\_events\_in\_wait\_list* must be greater than 0. The events specified in *event\_wait\_list* act as synchronization points. The context associated with events in *event\_wait\_list* and *command\_queue* must be the same. The memory associated with event\_wait\_list can be reused or freed after the function returns.

 *event*

Returns an event object that identifies this particular copy command and can be used to query or queue a wait for this particular command to complete. *event* can be NULL in which case it will not be possible for the application to query the status of this command or queue a wait for this command to complete. [**clEnqueueBarrierWithWaitList**(3clc)](/clEnqueueBarrierWithWaitList/3clc.md) can be used instead. If the *event\_wait\_list* and the *event* arguments are not NULL, the *event* argument should not refer to an element of the *event\_wait\_list* array.

## ERRORS

**clEnqueueCopyBufferToImage** returns CL\_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:

• CL\_INVALID\_COMMAND\_QUEUE if *command\_queue* is not a valid command-queue.

• CL\_INVALID\_CONTEXT if the context associated with *command\_queue*, *src\_buffer* and *dst\_image* are not the same or if the context associated with *command\_queue* and events in *event\_wait\_list* are not the same.

• CL\_INVALID\_MEM\_OBJECT if *src\_buffer* is not a valid buffer object and *dst\_image* is not a valid image object or if *dst\_image* is a 1D image buffer object created from *src\_buffer*.

• CL\_INVALID\_VALUE if the 1D, 2D, or 3D rectangular region specified by *dst\_origin* and *dst\_origin* + *region* refers to a region outside *dst\_origin*, or if the region specified by *src\_offset* and *src\_offset* + *src\_cb* refers to a region outside *src\_buffer*.

• CL\_INVALID\_VALUE if values in *dst\_origin* and *region* do not follow rules described in the argument description for *dst\_origin* and *region*.

• CL\_INVALID\_EVENT\_WAIT\_LIST if *event\_wait\_list* is NULL and *num\_events\_in\_wait\_list* \> 0, or *event\_wait\_list* is not NULL and *num\_events\_in\_wait\_list* is 0, or if event objects in *event\_wait\_list* are not valid events.

• CL\_MISALIGNED\_SUB\_BUFFER\_OFFSET if *src\_buffer* is a sub-buffer object and *offset* specified when the sub-buffer object is created is not aligned to **CL\_DEVICE\_MEM\_BASE\_ADDR\_ALIGN** value for device associated with *queue*.

• CL\_INVALID\_IMAGE\_SIZE if image dimensions (image width, height, specified or compute row and/or slice pitch) for *dst\_image* are not supported by device associated with *queue*.

• CL\_INVALID\_IMAGE\_FORMAT if image format (image channel order and data type) for *dst\_image* are not supported by device associated with *queue*.

• CL\_MEM\_OBJECT\_ALLOCATION\_FAILURE if there is a failure to allocate memory for data store associated with *src\_buffer* or *dst\_image*.

• CL\_INVALID\_OPERATION if the device associated with *command\_queue* does not support images (i.e. CL\_DEVICE\_IMAGE\_SUPPORT specified in the table of OpenCL Device Queries for [**clGetDeviceInfo**(3clc)](/clGetDeviceInfo/3clc.md) is CL\_FALSE).

• CL\_OUT\_OF\_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the device.

• CL\_OUT\_OF\_HOST\_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
