GLXGETCLIENTSTRING()UNIX Programmer's Manual GLXGETCLIENTSTRING()
NAME
glXGetClientString - return a string describing the client
C SPECIFICATION
const char * glXGetClientString( Display *dpy,
int name )
PARAMETERS
dpy Specifies the connection to the X server.
name Specifies which string is returned. One of GLX_VENDOR,
GLX_VERSION, or GLX_EXTENSIONS.
DESCRIPTION
glXGetClientString returns a string describing some aspect
of the client library. The possible values for name are
GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VERSION, and GLX_EXTENSIONS. If name is not
set to one of these values, glXGetClientString returns NULL.
The format and contents of the vendor string is implementa-
tion dependent.
The extensions string is null-terminated and contains a
space-separated list of extension names. (The extension
names never contain spaces.) If there are no extensions to
GLX, then the empty string is returned.
The version string is laid out as follows:
<major_version.minor_version><space><vendor-specific info>
Both the major and minor portions of the version number are
of arbitrary length. The vendor-specific information is
optional. However, if it is present, the format and con-
tents are implementation specific.
NOTES
glXGetClientString is available only if the GLX version is
1.1 or greater.
If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be
1.0. If the GLX version is 1.2, then the GL version must be
1.1.
glXGetClientString only returns information about GLX exten-
sions supported by the client. Call glGetString to get a
list of GL extensions supported by the server.
