  Method
  Description
  `VulkanBufferType`

  `Set<VulkanBufferViewCreateFlag>`
  `flags()`
  `default VulkanFormat`
  `format()`
  `default long`
  `offset()`
  `default long`
  `range()`

- ## Method Details

  - ### flags

    Set<VulkanBufferViewCreateFlag> flags()
    Returns:
      A set of flags specifying additional parameters of the buffer view.

  - ### buffer

    VulkanBufferType buffer()
    Returns:
      The buffer on which the view will be created

  - ### format

    @Default default VulkanFormat format()
    Returns:
      The format of the data elements in the buffer

  - ### offset

    @Default default long offset()
    Returns:
      An offset in bytes from the base address of the buffer. Accesses to the buffer view from shaders use addressing that is relative to this starting offset.

  - ### range

    @Default default long range()
    Returns:
      A size in bytes of the buffer view. If range is equal to VK_WHOLE_SIZE, the range from offset to the end of the buffer is used. If VK_WHOLE_SIZE is used and the remaining size of the buffer is not a multiple of the texel block size of format, the nearest smaller multiple is used.
