# AccelerateBuffer

A type that represents an immutable buffer.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol AccelerateBuffer<Element>
```

## Overview

Overview If you implement your own type that conforms to AccelerateBuffer and uses the default implementation of withUnsafeBufferPointer(_:), your type needs to return a nonnil result from withContiguousStorageIfAvailable(_:).
