NAME

       glFenceSync - create a new sync object and insert it into the GL command stream

C SPECIFICATION

       GLsync glFenceSync(GLenum condition, GLbitfield flags);

PARAMETERS

       condition
	   Specifies the condition that must be met to set the sync object's state to signaled.  condition must be GL_SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE.

       flags
	   Specifies a bitwise combination of flags controlling the behavior of the sync object. No flags are presently defined for this operation
	   and flags must be zero.[1]

DESCRIPTION

       glFenceSync creates a new fence sync object, inserts a fence command into the GL command stream and associates it with that sync object,
       and returns a non-zero name corresponding to the sync object.

       When the specified condition of the sync object is satisfied by the fence command, the sync object is signaled by the GL, causing any
       glWaitSync(), glClientWaitSync() commands blocking in sync to unblock. No other state is affected by glFenceSync or by the execution of the
       associated fence command.

       condition must be GL_SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE. This condition is satisfied by completion of the fence command corresponding to the sync
       object and all preceding commands in the same command stream. The sync object will not be signaled until all effects from these commands on
       GL client and server state and the framebuffer are fully realized. Note that completion of the fence command occurs once the state of the
       corresponding sync object has been changed, but commands waiting on that sync object may not be unblocked until after the fence command
       completes.

NOTES

       glFenceSync is only supported if the GL version is 3.2 or greater, or if
		   the ARB_sync extension is supported.
	   .SH "ERRORS"

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if condition is not GL_SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if flags is not zero.

       Additionally, if glFenceSync fails, it will return zero.

NAME

       glClientWaitSync - block and wait for a sync object to become signaled

C SPECIFICATION

       GLenum glClientWaitSync(GLsync sync, GLbitfield flags, GLuint64 timeout);

PARAMETERS

       sync
	   The sync object whose status to wait on.

       flags
	   A bitfield controlling the command flushing behavior.  flags may be GL_SYNC_FLUSH_COMMANDS_BIT.

       timeout
	   The timeout, specified in nanoseconds, for which the implementation should wait for sync to become signaled.

DESCRIPTION

       glClientWaitSync causes the client to block and wait for the sync object specified by sync to become signaled. If sync is signaled when
       glClientWaitSync is called, glClientWaitSync returns immediately, otherwise it will block and wait for up to timeout nanoseconds for sync
       to become signaled.

       The return value is one of four status values:

       o    GL_ALREADY_SIGNALED indicates that sync was signaled at the time that glClientWaitSync was called.

       o    GL_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED indicates that at least timeout nanoseconds passed and sync did not become signaled.

       o    GL_CONDITION_SATISFIED indicates that sync was signaled before the timeout expired.

       o    GL_WAIT_FAILED indicates that an error occurred. Additionally, an OpenGL error will be generated.

NOTES

       glClientWaitSync is available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if sync is not the name of an existing sync object.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if flags contains any unsupported flag.
