gluGetString()                                     gluGetString()

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       const GLubyte * gluGetString(
               GLenum name );

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       gluGetString()  returns  a  pointer  to  a  static  string
       describing the GLU version or the GLU extensions that  are
       supported.

       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  extensions
  to the GLU. If name is GLU_EXTENSIONS, then gluGetString()
 returns a space-separated list of names  of  supported
  GLU  extensions.  (Extension  names  never contain
       spaces.)

       All strings are null-terminated.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       gluGetString() only returns information about  GLU  extensions.
  Call glGetString() to get a list of GL extensions.

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

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       NULL  is returned if name is not GLU_VERSION or GLU_EXTENSIONS.
