glXGetClientString()glXGetClientString()NAMEglXGetClientString - return a string describing the client
SYNOPSIS
const char * glXGetClientString(
Display *dpy,
int name );
PARAMETERS
Specifies the connection to the X server. Specifies which string is
returned. One of GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VERSION, or GLX_EXTENSIONS.
DESCRIPTIONglXGetClientString() returns a string describing some aspect of the
client library. The possible values for name are GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VER‐
SION, and GLX_EXTENSIONS. If name is not set to one of these values,
glXGetClientString() returns NULL. The format and contents of the ven‐
dor string is implementation 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_ver‐
sion><space><vendor-specific info> Both the major and minor portions of
the version number are of arbitrary length. The vendor-specific infor‐
mation is optional. However, if it is present, the format and contents
are implementation specific.
NOTESglXGetClientString() 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 extensions sup‐
ported by the client. Call glGetString() to get a list of GL extensions
supported by the server.
