glGenRenderbuffers 3G
glGenRenderbuffers generate renderbuffer object names

## C Specification

void `glGenRenderbuffers` GLsizei n GLuint * renderbuffers

## Parameters

n

  Specifies the number of renderbuffer object names to be generated.

renderbuffers

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

## Description

`glGenRenderbuffers` returns n renderbuffer object names in renderbuffers. 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 `glGenRenderbuffers`.

Renderbuffer object names returned by a call to `glGenRenderbuffers` are not returned by subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with glDeleteRenderbuffers.

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

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_VALUE` is generated if n is negative.

## Associated Gets

glIsRenderbuffer
