sions
C SPECIFICATION
const GLubyte * gluGetString( GLenum name )
PARAMETERS
name Specifies a symbolic constant, one of GLU_VERSION, or
GLU_EXTENSIONS.
DESCRIPTIONgluGetString 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 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.
NOTESgluGetString only returns information about GLU extensions. Call glGet‐
String 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.
