NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     glXGetClientString	- return a string describing the client

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

				      int name )

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     glXGetClientString	returns	a string describing some aspect	of the client
     library. The possible values for name are GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VERSION,	and
     GLX_EXTENSIONS. If	name is	not set	to one of these	values,
     glXGetClientString	returns	NULL. The format and contents of the vendor
     string is implementation dependent.

     The extensions string is null-terminated and contains a space-separated
     list of  extension	names. (The extension names never contain spaces.) If
     there are no extensions to	GLX, then the empty string is returned.

     The version string	is laid	out as follows:

     <major_version.minor_version><space><vendor-specific info>

     Both the major and	minor portions of the version number are of arbitrary
     length.  The vendor-specific information is optional.  However, if	it is
     present, the format and contents are implementation specific.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     glXGetClientString	is available only if the GLX version is	1.1 or
     greater.

     If	the GLX	version	is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0.  If the GLX
     version is	1.2, then the GL version must be 1.1.  If the GLX version is
     1.3, then the GL version must be 1.2.

     glXGetClientString	only returns information about GLX extensions
     supported by the client. Call glXGetString	to get a list of GL extensions
     supported by the server.
