NAME

6       gluGetString - return a string describing the GLU version or GLU
7       extensions
8

C SPECIFICATION

10       const GLubyte * gluGetString(GLenum name);
11

PARAMETERS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

NOTES

41       gluGetString only returns information about GLU extensions. Call
42       glGetString to get a list of GL extensions.
43
44       gluGetString is an initialization routine. Calling it after a
45       glNewList() results in undefined behavior.
46

ERRORS

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