+ * \brief Copy the contents from another buffer
+ * \param[in] src Buffer to copy
+ *
+ * Copy the buffer contents and metadata from \a src to this buffer. The
+ * destination FrameBuffer shall have the same number of planes as the source
+ * buffer, and each destination plane shall be larger than or equal to the
+ * corresponding source plane.
+ *
+ * The complete metadata of the source buffer is copied to the destination
+ * buffer. If an error occurs during the copy, the destination buffer's metadata
+ * status is set to FrameMetadata::FrameError, and other metadata fields are not
+ * modified.
+ *
+ * The operation is performed using memcpy() so is very slow, users needs to
+ * consider this before copying buffers.
+ *
+ * \return 0 on success or a negative error code otherwise
