<para>
<function>glGetPointerv</function> returns pointer information. <parameter>pname</parameter> is a symbolic constant
indicating the pointer to be returned, and <parameter>params</parameter> is a pointer to a
location in which to place the returned data.
</para>
<para>
For all <parameter>pname</parameter> arguments except <constant>GL_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_POINTER</constant> and <constant>GL_SELECTION_BUFFER_POINTER</constant>,
if a non-zero named buffer object was bound to the <constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant> target
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>) when the desired pointer was previously
specified, the pointer returned is a byte offset into the buffer object's data store.
Buffer objects are only available in OpenGL versions 1.5 and greater.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
<function>glGetPointerv</function> is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
</para>
<para>
<constant>GL_FOG_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER</constant> and <constant>GL_SECONDARY_COLOR_ARRAY_POINTER</constant>
are available only if the GL version is 1.4 or greater.
</para>
<para>
The pointers are all client-side state.
</para>
<para>
The initial value for each pointer is 0.
</para>
<para>
For OpenGL versions 1.3 and greater, or when the <code>ARB_multitexture</code>
extension is supported, querying the <constant>GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER</constant>
returns the value for the active client texture unit.
</para>

<constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>pname</parameter> is not an accepted value.
