GLvoid∗ ∗params )

PARAMETERS

pname Specifies the array or buffer pointer to be returned.  Symbolic constants GL_COLOR_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_POINTER, GL_INDEX_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_NORMAL_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_SELECTION_BUFFER_POINTER, and GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_POINTER are accepted. 

params Returns the pointer value specified by pname. 

DESCRIPTION

glGetPointerv returns pointer information. pname is a symbolic constant indicating the pointer to be returned, and params is a pointer to a location in which to place the returned data. 

NOTES

glGetPointerv is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater. 

The pointers are all client-side state. 

The initial value for each pointer is 0. 

ERRORS

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
