gluGetString  F0OI06

[New - Windows 95, OEM Service Release 2]

The gluGetString function gets a string that describes the GLU version number or supported GLU extension calls.

const GLubyte *gluGetString(

    GLenum name

 

   );

 

 

Parameters

name

Either the version number of GLU (GLU_VERSION) or available vendor-specific extension calls (GLU_EXTENSIONS).

 

Remarks

The gluGetString function returns a pointer to a static, null-terminated string. When name is GLU_VERSION, the returned string is a value that represents the version number of GLU. The format of the version number is as follows:

<version number><space><vendor-specific information>

(for example,  1.2.11 Microsoft Windows NT )  

 

The version number has the form  major_number.minor_number  or  major_number.minor_number.release_number . The vendor-specific information is optional, and the format and contents depend on the implementation.

When name is GLU_EXTENSIONS, the returned string contains a list of names of supported GLU extensions that are separated by spaces. The format of the returned list of names is as follows:

<extension_name><space><extension_name><space> . . .

(for example,  GLU_NURBS GL_TESSELATION )

 

The extension names cannot contain any spaces.

The gluGetString function is valid for GLU version 1.1 or later.
