        <para>
            <function>glGenBuffers</function> returns <parameter>n</parameter> buffer object names in <parameter>buffers</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>glGenBuffers</function>.
        </para>
        <para>
            Buffer object names returned by a call to <function>glGenBuffers</function> are not returned by
            subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDeleteBuffers</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
        </para>
        <para>
            The names returned in <parameter>buffers</parameter> are marked as used, for the purposes of <function>glGenBuffers</function> only,
            but they acquire state and type only when they are first bound by calling
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
