indexSpecifies the generic vertex attribute parameter to be queried.
pnameSpecifies the symbolic name of the vertex
		    attribute parameter to be queried. Accepted values are
		    GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING,
		    GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_ENABLED,
		    GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_SIZE,
		    GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_STRIDE,
		    GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_TYPE,
		    GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_NORMALIZED, or
		    GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB.
paramsReturns the requested data.
glGetVertexAttrib returns in
	params the value of a generic vertex
	attribute parameter. The generic vertex attribute to be queried
	is specified by index, and the parameter
	to be queried is specified by pname.
The accepted parameter names are as follows:
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING
 params returns a
		    single value, the name of the buffer object currently bound to
                    the binding point corresponding to generic vertex attribute array 
                    index. If no buffer object is bound, 
                    0 is returned. The initial value is 0.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_ENABLED
 params returns a
		    single value that is non-zero (true) if the vertex
		    attribute array for index is
		    enabled and 0 (false) if it is disabled. The initial
		    value is GL_FALSE.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_SIZE
 params returns a
		    single value, the size of the vertex attribute array
		    for index. The size is the
		    number of values for each element of the vertex
		    attribute array, and it will be 1, 2, 3, or 4. The
		    initial value is 4.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_STRIDE
 params returns a
		    single value, the array stride for (number of bytes
		    between successive elements in) the vertex attribute
		    array for index. A value of 0
		    indicates that the array elements are stored
		    sequentially in memory. The initial value is 0.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_TYPE
 params returns a
		    single value, a symbolic constant indicating the
		    array type for the vertex attribute array for
		    index. Possible values are
		    GL_BYTE,
		    GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
		    GL_SHORT,
		    GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT,
		    GL_INT,
		    GL_UNSIGNED_INT,
		    GL_FLOAT, and
		    GL_DOUBLE. The initial value is
		    GL_FLOAT.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_NORMALIZED
 params returns a
		    single value that is non-zero (true) if fixed-point
		    data types for the vertex attribute array indicated
		    by index are normalized when
		    they are converted to floating point, and 0 (false)
		    otherwise. The initial value is
		    GL_FALSE.
GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB
 params returns four
		    values that represent the current value for the
		    generic vertex attribute specified by index. Generic
		    vertex attribute 0 is unique in that it has no
		    current state, so an error will be generated if
		    index is 0. The initial value
		    for all other generic vertex attributes is
		    (0,0,0,1).
All of the parameters except GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB
	represent client-side state.
glGetVertexAttrib is available only
	if the GL version is 2.0 or greater.
If an error is generated, no change is made to the
	contents of params.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if
	index is greater than or equal to
	GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if
	pname is not an accepted value.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if
	index is 0 and
	pname is
	GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB.
