    <para><function>glDeleteShader</function> frees the memory and
    invalidates the name associated with the shader object specified
    by <parameter>shader</parameter>. This command effectively
    undoes the effects of a call to
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCreateShader</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.</para>

    <para>If a shader object to be deleted is attached to a program
    object, it will be flagged for deletion, but it will not be
    deleted until it is no longer attached to any program object,
    for any rendering context (i.e., it must be detached from
    wherever it was attached before it will be deleted). A value of
    0 for <parameter>shader</parameter> will be silently
    ignored.</para>

    <para>To determine whether an object has been flagged for
    deletion, call
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetShader</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
    with arguments <parameter>shader</parameter> and
    <constant>GL_DELETE_STATUS</constant>.</para>
