🦋 GLISBUFFER(3G) — glIsBuffer 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the GLISBUFFER(3G) manual page 💖. This one is about glIsBuffer, and it’s literally the vibe check for buffer-object names. No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

glIsBuffer — determine if a name corresponds to a buffer object. That’s the whole assignment: is this name a buffer object or not? iykyk ✨.

💻 C SPECIFICATION 💻

GLboolean glIsBuffer(GLuint buffer);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • buffer — specifies a value that may be the name of a buffer object. That’s the parameter, bestie 🎀.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the tea ☕: glIsBuffer returns GL_TRUE if buffer is currently the name of a buffer object. Periodt. If buffer is zero, or is a non-zero value that is not currently the name of a buffer object, or if an error occurs, glIsBuffer returns GL_FALSE. That’s the whole yes/no moment 💅.

Also, super important: a name returned by glGenBuffers(), but not yet associated with a buffer object by calling glBindBuffer(), is not the name of a buffer object. The way that generated-but-not-bound name is giving “almost famous” energy 💀.

✨ VERSION SUPPORT ✨
