summary: Object Characteristics Functions
description:
 The functions below can be used to query the characteristics of an allocation,
 element, or sampler object.  These objects are created from Java.

 The term "element" is used a bit ambiguously in RenderScript, as both
 the type of an item of an allocation and the instantiation of that type:<ul>
 <li>@rs_element is a handle to a type specification, and</li>
 <li>In functions like @rsGetElementAt(), "element" means the instantiation
     of the type, i.e. an item of an allocation.</li></ul>

 The functions below let you query the characteristics of the type specificiation.

 To create complex elements, use the <a href='http://developer.android.com/reference/android/renderscript/Element.Builder.html'>Element.Builder</a> Java class.
 For common elements, in Java you can simply use one of the many predefined elements
 like <a href='http://developer.android.com/reference/android/renderscript/Element.html#F32_2(android.renderscript.RenderScript)'>F32_2</a>.  You can't create elements from a script.

 An element can be a simple data type as found in C/C++, a handle type,
 a structure, or a fixed size vector (of size 2, 3, or 4) of sub-elements.

 Elements can also have a kind, which is semantic information used mostly to
 interpret pixel data.

function: rsAllocationGetDimFaces
ret: uint32_t, "Returns 1 if more than one face is present, 0 otherwise."
arg: rs_allocation a
summary: Presence of more than one face
description:
 If the allocation is a cubemap, this function returns 1 if there's more than
 one face present.  In all other cases, it returns 0.

 Use @rsGetDimHasFaces() to get the dimension of a currently running kernel.

ret: uint32_t, "Returns 1 if more than one LOD is present, 0 otherwise."
arg: rs_allocation a
summary: Presence of levels of detail
description:

 This is useful for mipmaps.

 Use @rsGetDimLod() to get the dimension of a currently running kernel.
test: none
end:

function: rsAllocationGetDimX
ret: uint32_t, "The X dimension of the allocation."
arg: rs_allocation a

ret: void
arg: #1* dst
summary: Release an object
description:
 Tells the run time that this handle will no longer be used to access the
 the related object.  If this was the last handle to that object, resource
 recovery may happen.

 After calling this function, *dst will be set to an empty handle.  See
 @rsIsObject().
test: none
end:

function: rsIsObject
t: rs_element, rs_type, rs_allocation, rs_sampler, rs_script
ret: bool
arg: #1 v
summary: Check for an empty handle
description:
 Returns true if the handle contains a non-null reference.

 This function does not validate that the internal pointer used in the handle
 points to an actual valid object; it only checks for null.

 This function can be used to check the element returned by
 @rsElementGetSubElement() or see if @rsClearObject() has been called on a
 handle.
test: none

end:

function: rsElementGetDataType
version: 16
ret: rs_data_type
arg: rs_element e
summary: Return the data type of an element
description:
 Returns the element's base data type.  This can be a type similar to C/C++ (e.g. RS_TYPE_UNSIGNED_8),
 a handle (e.g. RS_TYPE_ALLOCATION and RS_TYPE_ELEMENT), or a more complex numerical type
 (e.g.RS_TYPE_UNSIGNED_5_6_5 and RS_TYPE_MATRIX_4X4).

 If the element describes a vector, this function returns the data type of one of its items.

 If the element describes a structure, RS_TYPE_NONE is returned.
