How To Use <apex:pageBlockButtons> In Visualforce Page?

<apex:pageBlockButtons>:
Whenever <apex:commandbutton> tag is used, a button is created in a based on the position where the tag is written.  But most of the times, we may want to place the buttons on the top or bottom of the page. This can be achieved with the help of this tag. 

This component must be a child component of an < apex:pageBlock >.

This tag supports following attributes:
