NAMEglGetString − return a string describing the current GL connection

C SPECIFICATIONconst GLubyte *glGetString(GLenum name); const GLubyte *glGetStringi(GLenum name, GLuint index);

PARAMETERSname Specifies a symbolic constant, one of GL_VENDOR, GL_RENDERER, GL_VERSION, or GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION​. Additionally, glGetStringi accepts the GL_EXTENSIONS token​. index For glGetStringi, specifies the index of the string to return​.

DESCRIPTIONglGetString returns a pointer to a static string describing some aspect of the current GL connection​. name can be one of the following: GL_VENDOR Returns the company responsible for this GL implementation​. This name does not change from release to release​. GL_RENDERER Returns the name of the renderer​. This name is typically specific to a particular configuration of a hardware platform​. It does not change from release to release​. GL_VERSION Returns a version or release number​. GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION Returns a version or release number for the shading language​. glGetStringi returns a pointer to a static string indexed by index​. name can be one of the following: GL_EXTENSIONS For glGetStringi only, returns the extension string supported by the implementation at index​. Strings GL_VENDOR and GL_RENDERER together uniquely specify a platform​. They do not change from release to release and should be used by platform−recognition algorithms​. The GL_VERSION and GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION strings begin with a version number​. The version number uses one of these forms: major_number​.minor_number major_number​.minor_number​.release_number Vendor−specific information may follow the version number​. Its format depends on the implementation, but a space always separates the version number and the vendor−specific information​. All strings are null−terminated​.

NOTESIf an error is generated, glGetString returns 0​. The client and server may support different versions​. glGetString always returns a compatible version number​. The release number always describes the server​.

ERRORSGL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if name is not an accepted value​. GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated by glGetStringi if index is outside the valid range for indexed state name​.
