<refsect1 id="description"><title>Description</title>
<para><function>glCreateShader</function> creates an empty
shader object and returns a non-zero value by which it can be
referenced. A shader object is used to maintain the source code
strings that define a shader. <parameter>shaderType</parameter>
indicates the type of shader to be created. Two types of shaders
are supported. A shader of type
<constant>GL_VERTEX_SHADER</constant> is a shader that is
intended to run on the programmable vertex processor and replace
the fixed functionality vertex processing in OpenGL. A shader of
type <constant>GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER</constant> is a shader that is
intended to run on the programmable fragment processor and
replace the fixed functionality fragment processing in
OpenGL.</para>
<para>When created, a shader object's
<constant>GL_SHADER_TYPE</constant> parameter is set to either
<constant>GL_VERTEX_SHADER</constant> or
<constant>GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER</constant>, depending on the value
of <parameter>shaderType</parameter>.</para>

<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para><function>glCreateShader</function> is available only if
the GL version is 2.0 or greater.</para>
<para>Like display lists and texture objects, the name space for
shader objects may be shared across a set of contexts, as long
as the server sides of the contexts share the same address
space. If the name space is shared across contexts, any attached
objects and the data associated with those attached objects are
shared as well.</para>
<para>Applications are responsible for providing the
synchronization across API calls when objects are accessed from
different execution threads.</para>

<refsect1 id="errors"><title>Errors</title>
<para>This function returns 0 if an error occurs creating the
shader object.</para>
<para><constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if
<parameter>shaderType</parameter> is not an accepted value.</para>
<para><constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if
<function>glCreateShader</function> is executed between the
execution of
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBegin</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
