[Flags]public enum GraphicsBuffer.Target
Remarks
Provide the intended targets (GraphicsBuffer.target) when creating a GraphicsBuffer. For example, pass GraphicsBuffer.Target.Index for a buffer to be usable as a geometry index buffer.
Different platforms and devices might or might not support different targets. Any target values different from Vertex, Index or Constant require the compute shader support (see SystemInfo.supportsComputeShaders).
You can combine values in this enum. For example, creates a buffer that can be used both as an index buffer in a Graphics.DrawProcedural call, and as a raw byte address buffer in a compute shader.
GraphicsBuffer.Target.Index | GraphicsBuffer.Target.RawDirectX 11 does not allow Index or Vertex buffers to also be Structured. For compute shader mesh data access with DirectX 11 compatibility, use Raw.
