## Detailed Description

A collection of encoded commands to be submitted to the GPU for execution. A command buffer is obtained from a graphics `Context`.

To submit commands to the GPU, acquire a `RenderPass` from the command buffer and record `Command`s into that pass. A `RenderPass` describes the configuration of the various attachments when the command is submitted.

A command buffer is only meant to be used on a single thread. If a frame workload needs to be encoded from multiple threads, set up and record into multiple command buffers. The order of submission of commands encoded in multiple command buffers can be controlled via either the order in which the command buffers were created, or, using the `ReserveSpotInQueue` command which allows for encoding commands for submission in an order that is different from the encoding order.
