# replaceIndices(_:) Replaces the entire contents of the index buffer synchronously on the CPU. ``` final func replaceIndices(_ body: @_lifetime(0: copy 0) (inout MutableRawSpan) throws(E) -> R) throws(E) -> R where E : Error, R : ~Copyable ``` ## Parameters `body` A closure that receives a mutable span over the index buffer’s bytes and fully populates it. ## Discussion You pass a closure that receives a mutable span representing the contents of the index buffer. Upon entry the buffer’s contents are undefined; the closure is responsible for populating it with valid data. This span is valid only for the duration of the closure. > Throws: Any error thrown by `body`. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
