<para>
<function>gluGetString</function> returns a pointer to a static string describing the
GLU version or the GLU extensions that are supported.
</para>
<para>
The version number is one of the following
forms:
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>major_number.minor_number</emphasis>
<emphasis>major_number.minor_number.release_number</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
The version string is of the following form:
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>version number&lt;space&gt;vendor-specific information</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
Vendor-specific information is optional.
Its format and contents depend on the implementation.
</para>
<para>
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 <parameter>name</parameter> is
<constant>GLU_EXTENSIONS</constant>, then <function>gluGetString</function>
returns a space-separated list of names of supported GLU extensions.
(Extension names never contain spaces.)
</para>
<para>
All strings are null-terminated.
</para>

<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
<function>gluGetString</function> only returns information about GLU extensions. Call <function>glGetString</function>
to get a list of GL extensions.
</para>
<para>
<function>gluGetString</function> is an initialization routine. Calling it after
a <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glNewList</refentrytitle></citerefentry> results in undefined behavior.
