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 generate.

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.

The names returned in renderbuffers are marked as used, for the purposes of `glGenRenderbuffers` only, but they acquire state and type only when they are first bound.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_VALUE` is generated if n is negative.
