WebGL2RenderingContext.fenceSync

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The WebGL2RenderingContext.fenceSync() method of the WebGL 2 API creates a new WebGLSync object and inserts it into the GL command stream.

Syntax

WebGLSync gl.fenceSync(condition, flags);

Parameters

condition
A GLenum specifying the condition that must be met to set the sync object's state to signaled. Must be gl.SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE.
flags
A GLbitfield specifying a bitwise combination of flags controlling the behavior of the sync object. Must be 0 (exists for extensions only).

Return value

A WebGLSync object.

Examples

gl must be a WebGL2RenderingContext. WebGLSync objects are not available in WebGL 1.

var sync = gl.fenceSync(gl.SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE, 0);
