GlDeleteBuffer

GlDeleteBuffer is a function in the OpenGL programming interface used to delete one or more buffer objects. Buffer objects in OpenGL are used to store data such as vertex data, texture coordinates, and other per-vertex attributes. When a buffer object is no longer needed, it is good practice to delete it to free up the associated memory and resources.

The GlDeleteBuffer function takes two arguments: the number of buffer objects to delete and a pointer to an array containing the names of the buffer objects to be deleted. The buffer object names are typically generated using the GlGenBuffers function. Once a buffer object is deleted, its name becomes invalid and can be reused by calling GlGenBuffers again.

It is important to note that calling GlDeleteBuffer on a buffer object that has not been created or has already been deleted will result in an error. Additionally, if a buffer object is currently bound to any buffer target, it will be unbound before it is deleted. This function is crucial for memory management in OpenGL applications, preventing leaks and ensuring efficient resource utilization.
