            <function>eglCreateImage</function> is used to create an
            <type>EGLImage</type> object from an existing image resource
            <parameter>buffer</parameter>. <parameter>display</parameter>
            specifies the EGL display used for this operation.
            <parameter>context</parameter> specifies the EGL client API
            context used for this operation, or
            <constant>EGL_NO_CONTEXT</constant> if a client API context is
            not required. <parameter>target</parameter> specifies the type
            of resource being used as the <type>EGLImage</type> source
            (examples include two-dimensional textures in OpenGL ES contexts
            and <type>VGImage</type> objects in OpenVG contexts).
            <parameter>buffer</parameter> is the name (or handle) of a
            resource to be used as the <type>EGLImage</type> source, cast
            into the type <type>EGLClientBuffer</type>.
            <parameter>attrib_list</parameter> is a list of attribute-value
            pairs which is used to select sub-sections of
            <parameter>buffer</parameter> for use as the
            <type>EGLImage</type> source, such as mipmap levels for OpenGL
            ES texture map resources, as well as behavioral options, such as
            whether to preserve pixel data during creation. If
            <parameter>attrib_list</parameter> is
            non-<constant>NULL</constant>, the last attribute specified in
            the list must be <constant>EGL_NONE</constant>.

            (e.g., as an OpenGL or OpenGL ES framebuffer object,

            <firstterm>orphaning</firstterm> of the <type>EGLImage</type>,
