        <p>
    Events can be used to identify commands enqueued to a command-queue from the host. 
    These events created by the OpenCL runtime can only be used on the host i.e. as events passed 
    in <code class="varname">event_wait_list</code> argument to various clEnqueue APIs or runtime APIs that take 
    events as arguments such as <a class="citerefentry" href="clRetainEvent.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clRetainEvent</span></span></a>, 
    <a class="citerefentry" href="clReleaseEvent.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clReleaseEvent</span></span></a>, 
    <a class="citerefentry" href="clGetEventProfilingInfo.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clGetEventProfilingInfo</span></span></a>.
  </p>
        <p> 
    Similarly, events can be used to identify commands enqueued to a device queue (from a kernel).
    These event objects cannot be passed to the host or used by OpenCL runtime APIs such as the 
    clEnqueueAPIs or runtime APIs that take event arguments.
  </p>
        <p>
    <a class="citerefentry" href="clRetainEvent.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clRetainEvent</span></span></a> and 
    <a class="citerefentry" href="clReleaseEvent.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clReleaseEvent</span></span></a> will return 
    <span class="errorname">CL_INVALID_OPERATION</span> if <code class="varname">event</code>
    specified is an event that refers to any kernel enqueued to a device queue using
    <a class="citerefentry" href="enqueue_kernel.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">enqueue_kernel</span></span></a> or
    <a class="citerefentry" href="enqueue_marker.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">enqueue_marker</span></span></a>
    or is a user event created by 
    <a class="citerefentry" href="create_user_event.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">create_user_event</span></span></a>.
  </p>
        <p>
    Similarly, 
    <a class="citerefentry" href="clSetUserEventStatus.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clSetUserEventStatus</span></span></a> 
    can only be used to set the execution status of events created using 
    <a class="citerefentry" href="clCreateUserEvent.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clCreateUserEvent</span></span></a>. 
    User events created on the device can be set using
    <a class="citerefentry" href="set_user_event_status.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">set_user_event_status</span></span></a> built-in function.
