GLFENCESYNC(3G) 						    OpenGL 3.3							   GLFENCESYNC(3G)

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

       glWaitSync - instruct the GL server to block until the specified sync object becomes signaled

C SPECIFICATION

       void glWaitSync(GLsync sync, GLbitfield flags, GLuint64 timeout);

PARAMETERS

       sync
	   Specifies the sync object whose status to wait on.

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

       timeout
	   Specifies the timeout that the server should wait before continuing.  timeout must be GL_TIMEOUT_IGNORED.

DESCRIPTION

       glWaitSync causes the GL server to block and wait until sync becomes signaled.  sync is the name of an existing sync object upon which to
       wait.  flags and timeout are currently not used and must be set to zero and the special value GL_TIMEOUT_IGNORED, respectively[1].
       glWaitSync will always wait no longer than an implementation-dependent timeout. The duration of this timeout in nanoseconds may be queried
       by calling glGet() with the parameter GL_MAX_SERVER_WAIT_TIMEOUT. There is currently no way to determine whether glWaitSync unblocked
       because the timeout expired or because the sync object being waited on was signaled.

       If an error occurs, glWaitSync does not cause the GL server to block.

NOTES

       glWaitSync is available only if the GL version is 3.2 or higher.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if sync is not the name of a sync object.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if flags is not zero.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if timeout is not GL_TIMEOUT_IGNORED.

NOTES

	1. flags and timeout are placeholders for anticipated future extensions of sync object capabilities. They must have these reserved values
	   in order that existing code calling glWaitSync operate properly in the presence of such extensions.
