PARAMETERS

15       name  Specifies  a  symbolic   constant,   one   of   GLU_VERSION,   or
16             GLU_EXTENSIONS.

DESCRIPTION

19       gluGetString  returns  a  pointer to a static string describing the GLU
20       version or the GLU extensions that are supported.
21
22       The version number is one of the following forms:
23
24       major_number.minor_number
25       major_number.minor_number.release_number.
26
27       The version string is of the following form:
28
29       version number<space>vendor-specific information
30
31       Vendor-specific information is optional.  Its  and contents  depend  on
32       the implementation.
33
34       The standard GLU contains a basic set of features and capabilities.  If
35       a company or group of companies wish to support other  features,  these
36       may  be  included as extensions to the GLU.  If name is GLU_EXTENSIONS,
37       then gluGetString returns a space-separated list of names of  supported
38       GLU extensions.  (Extension names never contain spaces.)
39
40       All strings are null-terminated.
41

NOTES

43       gluGetString only returns information about GLU extensions. Call glGet‐
44       String to get a list of GL extensions.
45
46       gluGetString is an initialization routine. Calling it after a glNewList
47       results in undefined behavior.
48

ERRORS

50       NULL is returned if name is not GLU_VERSION or GLU_EXTENSIONS.
