</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="description"></a><h2>Description</h2><p>

<code class="function">glGenFramebuffers</code> returns <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> framebuffer object names in <em class="parameter"><code>ids</code></em>.

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 <code class="function">glGenFramebuffers</code>.

</p><p>

Framebuffer object names returned by a call to <code class="function">glGenFramebuffers</code> are not returned by subsequent calls, unless

they are first deleted with <a class="citerefentry" href="glDeleteFramebuffers"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDeleteFramebuffers</span></span></a>.

</p><p>

The names returned in <em class="parameter"><code>ids</code></em> are marked as used, for the purposes of <code class="function">glGenFramebuffers</code> only,

but they acquire state and type only when they are first bound.

</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="errors"></a><h2>Errors</h2><p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> is negative.
