glGetTransformFeedbackVarying — retrieve information about varying variables selected for transform feedback
void glGetTransformFeedbackVarying( | GLuint | program, |
| GLuint | index, | |
| GLsizei | bufSize, | |
| GLsizei * | length, | |
| GLsizei * | size, | |
| GLenum * | type, | |
| char * | name); |
programThe name of the target program object.
indexThe index of the varying variable whose information to retrieve.
bufSize
The maximum number of characters, including the null terminator, that may be written into name.
length
The address of a variable which will receive the number of characters written into name,
excluding the null-terminator. If length is NULL no length is returned.
sizeThe address of a variable that will receive the size of the varying.
typeThe address of a variable that will recieve the type of the varying.
nameThe address of a buffer into which will be written the name of the varying.
Information about the set of varying variables in a linked program that will be captured
during transform feedback may be retrieved by calling glGetTransformFeedbackVarying.
glGetTransformFeedbackVarying provides information about the varying
variable selected by index. An index of 0 selects
the first varying variable specified in the varyings array passed
to glTransformFeedbackVaryings, and
an index of GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYINGS - 1 selects
the last such variable.
The name of the selected varying is returned as a null-terminated string in
name. The actual number of characters written into name,
excluding the null terminator, is returned in length. If length
is NULL, no length is returned. The maximum number of characters that may be written into name,
including the null terminator, is specified by bufSize.
The length of the longest varying name in program is given by GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYING_MAX_LENGTH,
which can be queried with glGetProgram.
For the selected varying variable, its type is returned into type. The size of
the varying is returned into size. The value in size is
in units of the type returned in type. The type returned can be any of the
scalar, vector, or matrix attribute types returned by glGetActiveAttrib.
If an error occurred, the return parameters length, size,
type and name will be unmodified. This command will return as much
information about the varying variables as possible. If no information is available, length
will be set to zero and name will be an empty string. This situation could
arise if glGetTransformFeedbackVarying is called after a failed link.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if program is not
the name of a program object.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if index is greater or equal to
the value of GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYINGS.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated program has not been linked.
