void glGenTextures( GLsizei n,

                  GLuint *textures )

n	Specifies the number of texture names to be generated.
textures	Specifies an array in which the generated texture names are stored.

 glGenTextures returns n texture names in textures. 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  glGenTextures.

The generated textures have no dimensionality; they assume the dimensionality of the texture target to which they are first bound (see  glBindTexture).

Texture names returned by a call to  glGenTextures are not returned by subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with  glDeleteTextures.

 glGenTextures is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

 GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative.

 GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if  glGenTextures is executed between the execution of  glBegin and the corresponding execution of  glEnd.
