        <para>
            <function>glGenTextures</function> returns <parameter>n</parameter> texture names in <parameter>textures</parameter>.
            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 <function>glGenTextures</function>.
        </para>
        <para>
            The generated textures have no dimensionality; they assume the dimensionality
            of the texture target to which they are first bound
            (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindTexture</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
        </para>
        <para>
            Texture names returned by a call to <function>glGenTextures</function> are not returned by
            subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDeleteTextures</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
