NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       glGetPointerv  -  return  the  address  of  the  specified
       pointer

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       void glGetPointerv(
               GLenum pname,
               GLvoid* *params );

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.  Returns the pointer
       value specified by pname.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.

       When  the  GL_ARB_multitexture  extension  is   supported,
       querying  the  GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER  returns the
       value for the active client texture unit.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not  an  accepted
       value.
