            GL establishes
            a ``working set'' of textures that are resident in texture memory.
            These textures can be bound to a texture target much more efficiently
            than textures that are not resident.
        </p><p>
            <code class="function">glAreTexturesResident</code> queries the texture residence status of the <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> textures named by
            the elements of <em class="parameter"><code>textures</code></em>.
            If all the named textures are resident,
            <code class="function">glAreTexturesResident</code> returns <code class="constant">GL_TRUE</code>,
            and the contents of <em class="parameter"><code>residences</code></em> are undisturbed.
            If not all the named textures are resident, <code class="function">glAreTexturesResident</code> returns <code class="constant">GL_FALSE</code>,
            and detailed status is returned in the <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> elements of <em class="parameter"><code>residences</code></em>.
            If an element of <em class="parameter"><code>residences</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_TRUE</code>, then the texture named by
            the corresponding element of <em class="parameter"><code>textures</code></em> is resident.
        </p><p>
            The residence status of a single bound texture may also be queried
            by calling
            <a class="citerefentry" href="glGetTexParameter.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetTexParameter</span></span></a> with the <span class="emphasis"><em>target</em></span> argument set to the
            target to which the texture is bound, and the <span class="emphasis"><em>pname</em></span> argument
            set to <code class="constant">GL_TEXTURE_RESIDENT</code>.
            This is the only way that the residence status of a default texture can be
            queried.
        </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="notes"></a><h2>Notes</h2><p>
            <code class="function">glAreTexturesResident</code> is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
        </p><p>
            <code class="function">glAreTexturesResident</code> returns the residency status of the textures at the time of
            invocation. It does not guarantee that the textures will remain
            resident at any other time.
        </p><p>
            If textures reside in virtual memory (there is no texture memory), they
            are considered always resident.
        </p><p>
            Some implementations may not load a texture until the first use of
            that texture.

            <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> is negative.
        </p><p>
            <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if any element in <em class="parameter"><code>textures</code></em>
            is 0 or does not name a texture. In that case, the function returns
            <code class="constant">GL_FALSE</code> and the contents of <em class="parameter"><code>residences</code></em> is indeterminate.
        </p><p>
            <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if <code class="function">glAreTexturesResident</code> is executed
            between the execution of <a class="citerefentry" href="glBegin.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBegin</span></span></a> and the corresponding
