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 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
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
NULL is returned if name is not
GLU_VERSION or GLU_EXTENSIONS.
