.SH "NAME"
glGenSamplers \- generate sampler object names
.SH "C SPECIFICATION"
.HP \w'void\ glGenSamplers('u
.BI "void glGenSamplers(GLsizei\ " "n" ", GLuint\ *" "samplers" ");"
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP
\fIn\fR
.RS 4
Specifies the number of sampler object names to generate\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIsamplers\fR
.RS 4
Specifies an array in which the generated sampler object names are stored\&.
.RE
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP

\fBglGenSamplers\fR
returns
\fIn\fR
sampler object names in
\fIsamplers\fR\&. 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
\fBglGenSamplers\fR\&.
.PP
Sampler object names returned by a call to
\fBglGenSamplers\fR
are not returned by subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with
\fBglDeleteSamplers\fR()\&.
.PP
The names returned in
\fIsamplers\fR
are marked as used, for the purposes of
\fBglGenSamplers\fR
only, but they acquire state and type only when they are first bound\&.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP

\fBglGenSamplers\fR
is available only if the GL version is 3\&.3 or higher\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP

\fBGL_INVALID_VALUE\fR
is generated if
\fIn\fR
is negative\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
