GLUGETSTRING(3G)                                              GLUGETSTRING(3G)



NAME
       gluGetString - return a string describing the GLU version or GLU exten-
       sions


C SPECIFICATION
       const GLubyte * gluGetString( GLenum name )


PARAMETERS
       name  Specifies  a  symbolic   constant,   one   of   GLUVERSION,   or
             GLUEXTENSIONS.

DESCRIPTION
       gluGetString  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:

       majornumber.minornumber
       majornumber.minornumber.releasenumber.

       The version string is of the following form:

       version numbervendor-specific information

       Vendor-specific information  is  optional.   Its  format  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 GLUEXTENSIONS,
       then gluGetString returns a space-separated list of names of  supported
       GLU extensions.  (Extension names never contain spaces.)

       All strings are null-terminated.

NOTES
       gluGetString 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.

ERORS
       NUL is returned if name is not GLUVERSION or GLUEXTENSIONS.
