MTLFunction (moe.platform.ios API)

```
public interface MTLFunction
```
[@protocol] MTLFunction
A handle to intermediate code used as inputs for either a MTLComputePipelineState or a MTLRenderPipelineState.
MTLFunction is a single vertex shader, fragment shader, or compute function. A Function can only be used with the device that it was created against.

- Method Detail
  - device
```
MTLDevice device()
```
    [@property] device
    The device this resource was created against. This resource can only be used with this device.
  - functionConstantsDictionary
```
NSDictionary<java.lang.String,? extends MTLFunctionConstant> functionConstantsDictionary()
```
    [@property] functionConstantsDictionary
    A dictionary containing information about all function contents, keyed by the constant names.
  - functionType
```
long functionType()
```
    [@property] functionType
    The overall kind of entry point: compute, vertex, or fragment.
  - label
```
java.lang.String label()
```
    [@property] label
    A string to help identify this object.
  - name
```
java.lang.String name()
```
    [@property] name
    The name of the function in the shading language.
  - patchControlPointCount
```
long patchControlPointCount()
```
    [@property] patchControlPointCount
    Returns the number of patch control points if it was specified in the shader. Returns -1 if it was not specified.
  - patchType
```
long patchType()
```
    [@property] patchType
    Returns the patch type. MTLPatchTypeNone if it is not a post tessellation vertex shader.
  - setLabel
```
void setLabel(java.lang.String value)
```
    [@property] label
    A string to help identify this object.
  - stageInputAttributes
```
NSArray<? extends MTLAttribute> stageInputAttributes()
```
    [@property] stageInputAttributes
    Returns an array describing the attributes
  - vertexAttributes
```
NSArray<? extends MTLVertexAttribute> vertexAttributes()
```
  - newArgumentEncoderWithBufferIndex
```
MTLArgumentEncoder newArgumentEncoderWithBufferIndex(long bufferIndex)
```
    newArgumentEncoderWithBufferIndex:
    Creates an argument encoder which will encode arguments matching the layout of the argument buffer at the given bind point index.
  - newArgumentEncoderWithBufferIndexReflection
```
MTLArgumentEncoder newArgumentEncoderWithBufferIndexReflection(long bufferIndex,
                                                               org.moe.natj.general.ptr.Ptr<MTLArgument> reflection)
```
    newArgumentEncoderWithBufferIndex:
    Creates an argument encoder which will encode arguments matching the layout of the argument buffer at the given bind point index.
  - options
```
long options()
```
    [@property] options
    The options this function was created with.
