clEnqueueWriteBuffer 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 and buffer 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 buffer is not a valid buffer object.

       •   CL_INVALID_VALUE if the region being written specified by (offset, size) is out of bounds or if ptr
           is a NULL value or if size is 0.

       •   CL_INVALID_EVENT_WAIT_LIST if event_wait_list is NULL and num_events_in_wait_list greater than 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 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_EXEC_STATUS_ERROR_FOR_EVENTS_IN_WAIT_LIST if the read and write operations are blocking and the
           execution status of any of the events in event_wait_list is a negative integer value.

       •   CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE if there is a failure to allocate memory for data store associated
           with buffer.

       •   CL_INVALID_OPERATION if clEnqueueWriteBuffer(3clc) is called on buffer which has been created with
           CL_MEM_HOST_READ_ONLY or CL_MEM_HOST_NO_ACCESS.

       •   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.

command_queue
           Refers to the command-queue in which the write command will be queued.  command_queue and buffer must
           be created with the same OpenCL context.

        buffer
           Refers to a valid buffer object.

        blocking_write
           Indicates if the write operations are blocking or nonblocking.

           If blocking_write is CL_TRUE, the OpenCL implementation copies the data referred to by ptr and
           enqueues the write operation in the command-queue. The memory pointed to by ptr can be reused by the
           application after the clEnqueueWriteBuffer call returns.

           If blocking_write is CL_FALSE, the OpenCL implementation will use ptr to perform a nonblocking write.
           As the write is non-blocking the implementation can return immediately. The memory pointed to by ptr
           cannot be reused by the application after the call returns. The event argument returns an event
           object which can be used to query the execution status of the write command. When the write command
           has completed, the memory pointed to by ptr can then be reused by the application.

        offset
           The offset in bytes in the buffer object to write to.

        size
           The size in bytes of data being written.

        ptr
           The pointer to buffer in host memory where data is to be written from.

         event_wait_list ,   num_events_in_wait_listevent_wait_list and 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 write 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.
