NAME

6       glGetString - return a string describing the current GL connection
7

C SPECIFICATION

9       const GLubyte *glGetString(GLenum name);
10
11       const GLubyte *glGetStringi(GLenum name, GLuint index);
12

PARAMETERS

14       name
15           Specifies a symbolic constant, one of GL_VENDOR, GL_RENDERER,
16           GL_VERSION, or GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION. Additionally,
17           glGetStringi accepts the GL_EXTENSIONS token.
18
19       index
20           For glGetStringi, specifies the index of the string to return.
21

DESCRIPTION

23       glGetString returns a pointer to a static string describing some aspect
24       of the current GL connection.  name can be one of the following:
25
26       GL_VENDOR
27           Returns the company responsible for this GL implementation. This
28           name does not change from release to release.
29
30       GL_RENDERER
31           Returns the name of the renderer. This name is typically specific
32           to a particular configuration of a hardware platform. It does not
33           change from release to release.
34
35       GL_VERSION
36           Returns a version or release number.
37
38       GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION
39           Returns a version or release number for the shading language.
40
41       glGetStringi returns a pointer to a static string indexed by index.
42       name can be one of the following:
43
44       GL_EXTENSIONS
45           For glGetStringi only, returns the extension string supported by
46           the implementation at index.
47
48       Strings GL_VENDOR and GL_RENDERER together uniquely specify a platform.
49       They do not change from release to release and should be used by
50       platform-recognition algorithms.
51
52       The GL_VERSION and GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION strings begin with a
53       version number. The version number uses one of these forms:
54
55       major_number.minor_number major_number.minor_number.release_number
56
57       Vendor-specific information may follow the version number. Its format
58       depends on the implementation, but a space always separates the version
59       number and the vendor-specific information.
60
61       All strings are null-terminated.
62

NOTES

64       If an error is generated, glGetString returns 0.
65
66       The client and server may support different versions.  glGetString
67       always returns a compatible version number. The release number always
68       describes the server.
69

ERRORS

71       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if name is not an accepted value.
72
73       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated by glGetStringi if index is outside the
74       valid range for indexed state name.
