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
