# glGenFramebuffers

generate framebuffer object names

## C Specification

                    void glGenFramebuffers
                    GLsizei n
                    GLuint * framebuffers

## Parameters

`n`

  Specifies the number of framebuffer object names to be generated.

`framebuffers`

  Specifies an array in which the generated framebuffer object names are stored.

## Description

`glGenFramebuffers` returns `n` framebuffer object names in `framebuffers`. 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 `glGenFramebuffers`.

Framebuffer object names returned by a call to `glGenFramebuffers` are not returned by subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with glDeleteFramebuffers.

No framebuffer objects are associated with the returned framebuffer object names until they are first bound by calling glBindFramebuffer.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_VALUE` is generated if `n` is negative.

## Associated Gets

glIsFramebuffer
