@subsection context_user User contexts for multi context windows
GLFW supports multiple OpenGL or OpenGL ES contexts per window. Providing
a window with an existing OpenGL or OpenGL ES context has been created further
user contexts can be created using @ref glfwCreateUserContext with the same
API sharing the window context objects.
@code
GLFWusercontext* usercontext = glfwCreateUserContext(window);
/* make the user context current */
glfwMakeUserContextCurrent(usercontext);
/* make the window context current */
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
/* destroy the user context */
glfwDestroyUserContext(usercontext);
@endcode
User contexts See also the test program `usercontext`.

@subsection context_current_user Current user context
When using [user contexts](@ref context_user) the user context can be
made current using @ref glfwMakeUserContextCurrent.
@code
glfwMakeUserContextCurrent(usercontext);
@endcode
This makes the any window context non-current on the calling thread, such that
a call to @ref glfwGetCurrentContext will return `NULL`.
The current user context is returned by @ref glfwGetCurrentUserContext.
@code
GLFWusercontext* usercontext = glfwGetCurrentUserContext();
@endcode
This will return the current user context or `NULL` if either the main window context
or no context is current.
