9 <code class="function">glGenVertexArrays</code> returns <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> vertex array object names in <em class="parameter"><code>arrays</code></em>.
10 There is no guarantee that the names form a contiguous set of integers; however, it is guaranteed that none of the returned names
11 was in use immediately before the call to <code class="function">glGenVertexArrays</code>.
12 </p><p>
13 Vertex array object names returned by a call to <code class="function">glGenVertexArrays</code> are not returned by subsequent calls, unless
14 they are first deleted with <a href="glDeleteVertexArrays.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDeleteVertexArrays</span></span></a>.
15 </p><p>
16 The names returned in <em class="parameter"><code>arrays</code></em> are marked as used, for the purposes of <code class="function">glGenVertexArrays</code> only,
17 but they acquire state and type only when they are first bound.
