# glIsProgram

determine if a name corresponds to a program object

## C Specification

    		GLboolean glIsProgram
    		GLuint program

## Parameters

`program`

  Specifies a potential program object.

## Description

`glIsProgram` returns `GL_TRUE` if `program` is the name of a program object previously created with glCreateProgram and not yet deleted with glDeleteProgram. If `program` is zero or a non-zero value that is not the name of a program object, or if an error occurs, `glIsProgram` returns `GL_FALSE`.

## Notes

No error is generated if `program` is not a valid program object name.

A program object marked for deletion with glDeleteProgram but still in use as part of current rendering state is still considered a program object and `glIsProgram` will return `GL_TRUE`.
