glGenBuffers 3G
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 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.

No buffer objects are associated with the returned buffer object names until they are first bound by calling glBindBuffer.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_VALUE` is generated if n is negative.

## Associated Gets

glIsBuffer
