GLGETPOINTERV(3G)                                            GLGETPOINTERV(3G)



NAME
       glGetPointerv - return the address of the specified pointer


C SPECIFICATION
       void glGetPointerv( GLenum pname,
                           GLvoid* *params )


PARAMETERS
       pname   Specifies the array or buffer pointer to be returned.  Symbolic
               constants  GLCOLORARAYPOINTER,  GLEDGEFLAGARAYPOINTER,
               GLFEDBACKBUFERPOINTER,             GLINDEXARAYPOINTER,
               GLNORMALARAYPOINTER,        GLTEXTURECORDARAYPOINTER,
               GLSELECTIONBUFERPOINTER,  and  GLVERTEXARAYPOINTER  are
               accepted.

       params  Returns the pointer value specified by pname.

DESCRIPTION
       glGetPointerv returns pointer information. pname is a symbolic constant
       indicating  the  pointer  to  be returned, and params is a pointer to a
       location in which to place the returned data.

NOTES
       glGetPointerv is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

       The pointers are all client-side state.

       The initial value for each pointer is 0.

       When the  GLARBmultitexture  extension  is  supported,  querying  the
       GLTEXTURECORDARAYPOINTER  returns the value for the active client
       texture unit.

ERORS
       GLINVALIDENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
