<para >
<function > glDeleteBuffers</function> deletes <parameter > n</parameter> buffer objects named by the elements of the array <parameter > buffers</parameter> .
After a buffer object is deleted, it has no contents,
and its name is free for reuse (for example by <citerefentry > <refentrytitle > glGenBuffers</refentrytitle> </citerefentry> ).
If a buffer object that is currently bound is deleted, the binding reverts

to 0 (the absence of any buffer object, which reverts to client memory usage).

<para >
<function > glDeleteBuffers</function> silently ignores 0's and names that do not correspond to
existing buffer objects.
