NAME

7

C SPECIFICATION

9       const char * glXGetClientString(Display * dpy, int name);
10

PARAMETERS

12       dpy
13           Specifies the connection to the X server.
14
15       name
16           Specifies which string is returned. The symbolic constants
17           GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VERSION, and GLX_EXTENSIONS are accepted.

DESCRIPTION

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

NOTES

39       glXGetClientString is available only if the GLX version is 1.1 or
40       greater.
41
42       If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0. If the
43       GLX version is 1.2, then the GL version must be 1.1. If the GLX version
44       is 1.3, then the GL version must be 1.2.
45
46       glXGetClientString only returns information about GLX extensions
47       supported by the client. Call glGetString() to get a list of GL
48       extensions supported by the server.
