DESCRIPTION

22       glXGetClientString returns a  string  describing  some  aspect  of  the
23       client  library.  The possible values for name are GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VER‐
24       SION, and GLX_EXTENSIONS. If name is not set to one  of  these  values,
25       glXGetClientString returns NULL.  The format and contents of the vendor
26       string is implementation dependent.
27
28       The extensions string is null-terminated and contains a space-separated
29       list  of   extension names. (The extension names never contain spaces.)
30       If there are no extensions to GLX, then the empty string is returned.
31
32       The version string is laid out as follows:
33
34       <major_version.minor_version><space><vendor-specific info>
35
36       Both the major and minor portions of the version number  are  of  arbi‐
37       trary  length.   The vendor-specific information is optional.  However,
38       if it is present, the format and contents are implementation specific.

NOTES

41       glXGetClientString is available only if  the  GLX  version  is  1.1  or
42       greater.
43
44       If  the  GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0.  If the
45       GLX version is 1.2, then the GL version must be 1.1.
46
47       glXGetClientString only returns information about GLX  extensions  sup‐
48       ported  by the client.  Call glGetString to get a list of GL extensions
49       supported by the server.
