**_glIsTexture:** determine if a name corresponds to a texture


## Syntax


  FUNCTION _glIsTexture~%% (BYVAL texture AS _UNSIGNED LONG)
  GLboolean **_glIsTexture**(GLuint texture);


; texture
>  Specifies a value that may be the name of a texture.


## Description


**_glIsTexture** returns [_GL_TRUE](_GL_TRUE) if texture is currently the name of a texture. If texture is zero, or is a non-zero value that is not currently the name of a texture, or if an error occurs, **_glIsTexture** returns [_GL_FALSE](_GL_FALSE).

A name returned by [_glGenTextures](_glGenTextures), but not yet associated with a texture by calling [_glBindTexture](_glBindTexture), is not the name of a texture.
