PARAMETERS
       pname
	   Specifies the parameter value to be returned. The symbolic
	   constants in the list below are accepted.

	   Specifies the index of the particular element being queried.

       data

DESCRIPTION
       These four commands return values for simple state variables in GL.
       pname is a symbolic constant indicating the state variable to be
       returned, and params is a pointer to an array of the indicated type in
       which to place the returned data.

       Type conversion is performed if params has a different type than the
       state variable value being requested. If glGetBooleanv is called, a
       floating-point (or integer) value is converted to GL_FALSE if and only
       if it is 0.0 (or 0). Otherwise, it is converted to GL_TRUE. If
       glGetIntegerv is called, boolean values are returned as GL_TRUE or
       GL_FALSE, and most floating-point values are rounded to the nearest
       integer value. Floating-point colors and normals, however, are returned
       with a linear mapping that maps 1.0 to the most positive representable
       integer value and -1.0 to the most negative representable integer
       value. If glGetFloatv or glGetDoublev is called, boolean values are
       returned as GL_TRUE or GL_FALSE, and integer values are converted to
       floating-point values.

       The following symbolic constants are accepted by pname:

	   significant bit of each unsigned byte. The initial value is
	   GL_FALSE. See glPixelStore().

       GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH

	   params returns one value, the row length used for reading pixel
	   data from memory. The initial value is 0. See glPixelStore().

       GL_UNPACK_SKIP_IMAGES

	   params returns one value, the number of pixel images skipped before
	   the first pixel is read from memory. The initial value is 0. See
	   glPixelStore().

       GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS

	   params returns one value, the number of pixel locations skipped
	   before the first pixel is read from memory. The initial value is 0.
	   See glPixelStore().

       GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS

	   params returns one value, the number of rows of pixel locations
	   skipped before the first pixel is read from memory. The initial
	   value is 0. See glPixelStore().

       GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES

	   params returns a single boolean value indicating whether the bytes
	   of two-byte and four-byte pixel indices and components are swapped
	   after being read from memory. The initial value is GL_FALSE. See
	   glPixelStore().

       GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_POINT_SIZE

	   params returns a single boolean value indicating whether vertex
	   program point size mode is enabled. If enabled, and a vertex shader
	   is active, then the point size is taken from the shader built-in
	   gl_PointSize. If disabled, and a vertex shader is active, then the
	   point size is taken from the point state as specified by
	   glPointSize(). The initial value is GL_FALSE.

       GL_VERTEX_BINDING_DIVISOR

	   Accepted by the indexed forms.  params returns a single integer
	   value representing the instance step divisor of the first element
	   in the bound buffer's data store for vertex attribute bound to
	   index.

       GL_VERTEX_BINDING_OFFSET

	   Accepted by the indexed forms.  params returns a single integer
	   value representing the byte offset of the first element in the
	   bound buffer's data store for vertex attribute bound to index.

       GL_VERTEX_BINDING_STRIDE

	   Accepted by the indexed forms.  params returns a single integer
	   value representing the byte offset between the start of each
	   element in the bound buffer's data store for vertex attribute bound
	   to index.

       GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIB_RELATIVE_OFFSET

	   params returns a single integer value containing the maximum offset
	   that may be added to a vertex binding offset.

       GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIB_BINDINGS

	   params returns a single integer value containing the maximum number
	   of vertex buffers that may be bound.

       GL_VIEWPORT

	   When used with non-indexed variants of glGet (such as
	   glGetIntegerv), params returns four values: the x and y window
	   coordinates of the viewport, followed by its width and height.
	   Initially the x and y window coordinates are both set to 0, and the
	   width and height are set to the width and height of the window into
	   which the GL will do its rendering. See glViewport(). When used
	   with indexed variants of glGet (such as glGetIntegeri_v), params
	   returns four values: the x and y window coordinates of the indexed
	   viewport, followed by its width and height. Initially the x and y
	   window coordinates are both set to 0, and the width and height are
	   set to the width and height of the window into which the GL will do
	   its rendering. See glViewportIndexedf().

       GL_VIEWPORT_BOUNDS_RANGE

	   params returns two values, the minimum and maximum viewport bounds
	   range. The minimum range should be at least [-32768, 32767].

       GL_VIEWPORT_INDEX_PROVOKING_VERTEX

	   params returns one value, the implementation dependent specifc
	   vertex of a primitive that is used to select the viewport index. If
	   the value returned is equivalent to GL_PROVOKING_VERTEX, then the
	   vertex selection follows the convention specified by
	   glProvokingVertex(). If the value returned is equivalent to
	   GL_FIRST_VERTEX_CONVENTION, then the selection is always taken from
	   the first vertex in the primitive. If the value returned is
	   equivalent to GL_LAST_VERTEX_CONVENTION, then the selection is
	   always taken from the last vertex in the primitive. If the value
	   returned is equivalent to GL_UNDEFINED_VERTEX, then the selection
	   is not guaranteed to be taken from any specific vertex in the
	   primitive.

       GL_VIEWPORT_SUBPIXEL_BITS

	   params returns a single value, the number of bits of sub-pixel
	   precision which the GL uses to interpret the floating point
	   viewport bounds. The minimum value is 0.

       GL_MAX_ELEMENT_INDEX

	   params returns a single value, the maximum index that may be
	   specified during the transfer of generic vertex attributes to the
	   GL.

       Many of the boolean parameters can also be queried more easily using
       glIsEnabled().
