glGetPointerv(3G)              OpenGL Reference              glGetPointerv(3G)



NAME
     glGetPointerv - return the address of the specified pointer


C SPECIFICATION
     void glGetPointerv( GLenum pname,
                         GLvoid* *params )


PARAMETERS
     pname   Specifies the array or buffer pointer to be returned.  Symbolic
             constants GLCOLORARRAYPOINTER, GLEDGEFLAGARRAYPOINTER,
             GLFEEDBACKBUFFERPOINTER, GLINDEXARRAYPOINTER,
             GLNORMALARRAYPOINTER, GLTEXTURECOORDARRAYPOINTER,
             GLSELECTIONBUFFERPOINTER, and GLVERTEXARRAYPOINTER 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
     GLINVALIDENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
