            The interval takes effect when <citerefentry><refentrytitle>eglSwapBuffers</refentrytitle></citerefentry> is
            first called subsequent to the <function>eglSwapInterval</function> call.

            The <parameter>interval</parameter> specified by the function applies to the draw surface
            bound to the context that is current on the calling thread.

        <para>
            If <parameter>interval</parameter> is set to a value of <constant>0</constant>, buffer swaps are not synchronized to a
            video frame, and the swap happens as soon as the render is complete. interval
            is silently clamped to minimum and maximum implementation dependent
            valuesbefore being stored; these values are defined by <type>EGLConfig</type> attributes
            <constant>EGL_MIN_SWAP_INTERVAL</constant> and <constant>EGL_MAX_SWAP_INTERVAL</constant> respectively.
