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().
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.
Name
