49 <para>
50 <function>glGenTextures</function> returns <parameter>n</parameter> texture names in <parameter>textures</parameter>.
51 There is no guarantee that the names form a contiguous set of integers;
52 however, it is guaranteed that none of the returned names was in use
53 immediately before the call to <function>glGenTextures</function>.
54 </para>
55 <para>
56 The generated textures have no dimensionality; they assume the dimensionality
57 of the texture target to which they are first bound
58 (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindTexture</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
59 </para>
60 <para>
61 Texture names returned by a call to <function>glGenTextures</function> are not returned by
62 subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with
