GLUGETSTRING() MachTen Programmer’s Manual GLUGETSTRING()

NAME
gluGetString - return a string describing the GLU version
or GLU extensions

C SPECIFICATION
const GLubyte * gluGetString( GLenum name )

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

DESCRIPTION
gluGetString returns a pointer to a static string describ-
ing the GLU version or the GLU extensions that are sup-
ported.

The version number is one of the following forms:

major_number.minor_number
major_number.minor_number.release_number.

The version string is of the following form:

version number<space>vendor-specific information

Vendor-specific information is optional. Its format and
contents depend on the implementation.

The standard GLU contains a basic set of features and
capabilities. If a company or group of companies wish to
support other features, these may be included as exten-
sions to the GLU. If name is GLU_EXTENSIONS, then gluGet-
String returns a space-separated list of names of sup-
ported GLU extensions. (Extension names never contain
spaces.)

All strings are null-terminated.

NOTES
gluGetString only returns information about GLU exten-
sions. Call glGetString to get a list of GL extensions.

gluGetString is an initialization routine. Calling it
after a glNewList results in undefined behavior.

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