glGenBuffers

Name

glGenBuffers — generate buffer object names

C Specification

void glGenBuffers( GLsizei n,
  GLuint * buffers);
 

Parameters

n

Specifies the number of buffer object names to be generated.

buffers

Specifies an array in which the generated buffer object names are stored.

Description

glGenBuffers returns n buffer object names in buffers. There is no guarantee that the names form a contiguous set of integers; however, it is guaranteed that none of the returned names was in use immediately before the call to glGenBuffers.

Buffer object names returned by a call to glGenBuffers are not returned by subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with glDeleteBuffers.

The names returned in buffers are marked as used, for the purposes of glGenBuffers only, but they acquire state and type only when they are first bound by calling glBindBuffer.

Errors

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative.
