# glCheckFramebufferStatus

check the completeness status of a framebuffer

## C Specification

                    GLenum glCheckFramebufferStatus
                    GLenum target

## Parameters

`target`

  Specify the target of the framebuffer completeness check.

## Description

`glCheckFramebufferStatus` queries the completeness status of the framebuffer object currently bound to `target`. `target` must be `GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER`, `GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER` or `GL_FRAMEBUFFER`. `GL_FRAMEBUFFER` is equivalent to `GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER`.

The return value is `GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE` if the framebuffer bound to `target` is complete. Otherwise, the return value is determined as follows:

- `GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNDEFINED` is returned if `target` is the default framebuffer, but the default framebuffer does not exist.

- `GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT` is returned if any of the framebuffer attachment points are framebuffer incomplete.

- `GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_MISSING_ATTACHMENT` is returned if the framebuffer does not have at least one image attached to it.

- `GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED` is returned if depth and stencil attachments, if present, are not the same renderbuffer, or if the combination of internal formats of the attached images violates an implementation-dependent set of restrictions.

- `GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_MULTISAMPLE` is returned if the value of `GL_RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES` is not the same for all attached renderbuffers or, if the attached images are a mix of renderbuffers and textures, the value of `GL_RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES` is not zero.

Additionally, if an error occurs, zero is returned.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_ENUM` is generated if `target` is not `GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER`, `GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER` or `GL_FRAMEBUFFER`.
