## osDpSetNextBuffer

Syntax

#include <ultra64.h>
s32 osDpSetNextBuffer(void *bufPtr, u64 size);
Explanation
The osDpGetStatus, osDpSetStatus, and osDpSetNextBuffer functions control and interrogate the display processor (DP). In other words, they provide basic control for the DP interface.
The osDpSetNextBuffer call updates the DP pointers causing the DP to begin reading an RDP display list from the DRAM buffer located at the location pointed to by the bufPtr argument. The length of the buffer must be indicated by size, which is the number of bytes in the RDP display list.
