WebGL2RenderingContext.clientWaitSync

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The WebGL2RenderingContext.clientWaitSync() method of the WebGL 2 API blocks and waits for a WebGLSync object to become signaled or a given timeout to be passed.

Syntax

GLenum gl.clientWaitSync(sync, flags, timeout);

Parameters

sync
A WebGLSync object on which to wait on.
flags
A GLbitfield specifying a bitwise combination of flags controlling the flushing behavior. May be gl.SYNC_FLUSH_COMMANDS_BIT.
timeout
A GLint64 specifying a timeout (in nanoseconds) for which to wait for the sync object to become signaled. Must not be larger than gl.MAX_CLIENT_WAIT_TIMEOUT_WEBGL.

Return value

A GLenum indicating the sync object's status.

  • gl.ALREADY_SIGNALED: Indicates that the sync object was signaled when this method was called.
  • gl.TIMEOUT_EXPIRED: Indicates that the timeout time passed and that the sync object did not become signaled.
  • gl.CONDITION_SATISFIED: Indicates that the sync object was signaled before the timeout expired.
  • gl.WAIT_FAILED: Indicates that an error occurred during the execution.

Examples

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