<para>
<function>glGetQueryObject</function> returns in <parameter>params</parameter> a selected parameter of the query object
specified by <parameter>id</parameter>.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>pname</parameter> names a specific query object parameter. <parameter>pname</parameter> can be as follows:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant></term>
<listitem>
<para>
<parameter>params</parameter> returns the value of the query object's passed samples counter.
The initial value is 0.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE</constant></term>
<listitem>
<para>
<parameter>params</parameter> returns whether the passed samples counter is immediately available.
If a delay would occur waiting for the query result, <constant>GL_FALSE</constant> is returned.
Otherwise, <constant>GL_TRUE</constant> is returned, which also indicates that the results of all
previous queries are available as well.

<para>
If an error is generated,
no change is made to the contents of <parameter>params</parameter>.
</para>
<para>
<function>glGetQueryObject</function> implicitly flushes the GL pipeline so that any incomplete rendering
delimited by the occlusion query completes in finite time.
</para>
<para>
If multiple queries are issued using the same query object <parameter>id</parameter> before calling
<function>glGetQueryObject</function>, the results of the most recent query will be returned. In this case,
when issuing a new query, the results of the previous query are discarded.
</para>
<para>
<function>glGetQueryObject</function> is available only if the GL version is 1.5 or greater.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="errors"><title>Errors</title>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>pname</parameter> is not an accepted value.
</para>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if <parameter>id</parameter> is not the name of a query object.
</para>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if <parameter>id</parameter> is the name of a currently active
query object.
</para>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if <function>glGetQueryObject</function>
is executed between the execution of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBegin</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
and the corresponding execution of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
