<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>
No buffer objects are associated with the returned buffer object names until they are first bound by calling
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
