NAME
     glAreTexturesResidentEXT -	determine if textures are loaded in texture
     memory


C SPECIFICATION
     GLboolean glAreTexturesResidentEXT( GLsizei n,
					 const GLuint *textures,
					 GLboolean *residences )


PARAMETERS
     n		 The number of textures	to be queried.

     textures	 An array containing the names of the textures to be queried.

     residences	 An array in which the texture residence status	is returned.
		 The residence status of a texture named by an element of
		 textures is returned in the corresponding element of
		 residences.

DESCRIPTION
     On	machines with a	limited	amount of texture memory, OpenGL establishes a
     ``working set'' of	textures that are resident in texture memory.  These
     textures may be bound to a	texture	target much more efficiently than
     textures that are not resident.

     glAreTexturesResidentEXT queries the texture residence status of the n
     textures named by the elements of textures.  If all the named textures
     are resident, glAreTexturesResidentEXT returns GL_TRUE and	the contents
     of	residences are undisturbed.  If	not all	the named textures are
     resident, glAreTexturesResidentEXT	returns	GL_FALSE and detailed status
     is	returned in the	n elements of residences.  If an element of residences
     is	GL_TRUE, then the texture named	by the corresponding element of
     textures is resident.

     The residence status of a single bound texture may	also be	queried	by
     calling glGetTexParameter with the	target argument	set to the target to
     which the texture is bound, and the parameter name	argument set to
     GL_TEXTURE_RESIDENT_EXT.  This is the only	way that the residence status
     of	a default texture can be queried.

     glAreTexturesResidentEXT is not included in display lists.

NOTES
     glAreTexturesResidentEXT is part of the EXT_texture_object	extension.
     See glIntro for more information about using extensions.

ERRORS
     GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n	is negative.

     GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if any element in textures is zero or does
     not name a	texture.

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

ASSOCIATED GETS
     glGetTexParameter with parameter name GL_TEXTURE_RESIDENT_EXT retrieves
     the residence status of a currently-bound texture.
