GLISVERTEXARRAY(3G)

✨ NAME ✨

hii bestie, welcome to GLISVERTEXARRAY(3G) 💖 — the manual page for glIsVertexArray, aka the little function that tells you if a name corresponds to a vertex array object. periodt. 💅

---

💖 C SPECIFICATION 💖

GLboolean glIsVertexArray(GLuint array);

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• array — specifies a value that may be the name of a vertex array object. yep, that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so glIsVertexArray returns GL_TRUE if array is currently the name of a vertex array object. slay. ✨

but bestie, listen: if array is zero, or if array is not the name of a vertex array object, or if an error occurs, then glIsVertexArray returns GL_FALSE. no cap. 😭

and there's one more little plot twist 👀 — if array is a name returned by glGenVertexArrays(), but that name has not yet been bound through a call to glBindVertexArray(), then the name is not a vertex array object, and glIsVertexArray returns GL_FALSE. it's giving "generated but not bound yet" energy. 💀
