PARAMETERStarget Indicates the usage of the internal format. target must be GL_TEXTURE_1D, GL_TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY, GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY, GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP, GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_ARRAY, GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE or GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY. internalformat Specifies the internal format about which to retrieve information. pname Specifies the type of information to query. bufSize Specifies the maximum number of integers of the specified width that may be written to params by the function. params Specifies the address of a variable into which to write the retrieved information.

DESCRIPTIONglGetInternalformativ and glGetInternalformati64v retrieve information about implementation−dependent support for internal formats. target indicates the target with which the internal format will be used and must be one of GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE, or GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY, corresponding to usage as a renderbuffer, two−dimensional multisample texture or two−dimensional multisample array texture, respectively. internalformat specifies the internal format about which to retrieve information and must be a color−renderable, depth−renderable or stencil−renderable format. The information retrieved will be written to memory addressed by the pointer specified in params. No more than bufSize integers will be written to this memory. If pname is GL_NUM_SAMPLE_COUNTS, the number of sample counts that would be returned by querying GL_SAMPLES will be returned in params. If pname is GL_SAMPLES, the sample counts supported for internalformat and target are written into params in descending numeric order. Only positive values are returned. Querying GL_SAMPLES with bufSize of one will return just the maximum supported number of samples for this format. The maximum value in GL_SAMPLES is guaranteed to be at least the lowest of the following: • The value of GL_MAX_INTEGER_SAMPLES if internalformat is a signed or unsigned integer format. • The value of GL_MAX_DEPTH_TEXTURE_SAMPLES if internalformat is a depth− or stencil−renderable format and target is GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE, GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY. • The value of GL_MAX_COLOR_TEXTURE_SAMPLES if internalformat is a color−renderable format and target is GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE or GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY. • The value of GL_MAX_SAMPLES. If pname is GL_INTERNALFORMAT_SUPPORTED, params is set to GL_TRUE if internalformat is a supported internal format for target and to GL_FALSE otherwise. If pname is GL_INTERNALFORMAT_PREFERRED, params is set to GL_TRUE if internalformat is an format for target that is preferred by the implementation and to GL_FALSE otherwise.

If internalformat is a compressed internal format, then params is set to the component resolution of an uncompressed internal format that produces an image of roughly the same quality as the compressed algorithm.
