NAME

       clRetainDevice - Increments the devices reference count.

       cl_int clRetainDevice(cl_device_id device);

NOTES

       Increments the device reference count if device is a valid sub-device created by a call to
       clCreateSubDevices(3clc). If device is a root level device i.e. a cl_device_id returned by
       clGetDeviceIDs(3clc), the device reference count remains unchanged.

ERRORS

       Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully or the device is a root-level
       device. Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:

       •   CL_INVALID_DEVICE if device is not a valid sub-device created by a call to
           clCreateSubDevices(3clc).

       •   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.
