9 There is no guarantee that the names form a contiguous set of integers;
10 however, it is guaranteed that none of the returned names was in use
11 immediately before the call to
<code class=

13 Buffer object names returned by a call to
<code class=

14 subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with
