DESCRIPTION
glXGetClientString 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 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 arbi-
trary length. The vendor-specific information is optional. However,
if it is present, the format and contents are implementation specific.
NOTES
glXGetClientString 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.
