NAME

       clWaitForEvents - Waits on the host thread for commands identified by event objects to complete.

       cl_int clWaitForEvents(cl_uint num_events, const cl_event *event_list);

PARAMETERS

       event_list
           The events specified in event_list act as synchronization points.

NOTES

       Waits on the host thread for commands identified by event objects in event_list to complete. A command is
       considered complete if its execution status is CL_COMPLETE or a negative value. The events specified in
       event_list act as synchronization points.

       If the cl_khr_gl_event(3clc) extension is enabled, event objects can also be used to reflect the status
       of an OpenGL sync object. The sync object in turn refers to a fence command executing in an OpenGL
       command stream. This provides another method of coordinating sharing of buffers and images between OpenGL
       and OpenCL.

ERRORS

       Returns CL_SUCCESS if the execution status of all events in event_list is CL_COMPLETE. Otherwise, it
       returns one of the following errors:

       •   CL_INVALID_VALUE if num_events is zero or event_list is NULL..

       •   CL_INVALID_CONTEXT if events specified in event_list do not belong to the same context.

       •   CL_INVALID_EVENT if event objects specified in event_list are not valid event objects.

       •   CL_EXEC_STATUS_ERROR_FOR_EVENTS_IN_WAIT_LIST if the execution status of any of the events in
           event_list is a negative integer value.

       •   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.
