# supportIndirectCommandBuffers

A Boolean value that indicates whether the render pipeline supports encoding commands into an indirect command buffer.

```
var supportIndirectCommandBuffers: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

This property gets its value by copying from the [`supportIndirectCommandBuffers`](/documentation/Metal/MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor/supportIndirectCommandBuffers) property of the [`MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor`](/documentation/Metal/MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor) instance as the GPU device creates the pipeline state.
