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_VEN-
DOR, 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_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
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_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
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 supported by the client. Call glGetString to
get a list of GL extensions supported by the server.
