idSpecifies the name of a query object.
pname
                    Specifies the symbolic name of a query object parameter.
                    Accepted values are GL_QUERY_RESULT or GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE.
                
params
                    If a buffer is bound to the GL_QUERY_RESULT_BUFFER target, then params
                    is treated as an offset to a location within that buffer's data store to receive the result of the query. If
                    no buffer is bound to GL_QUERY_RESULT_BUFFER, then params is
                    treated as an address in client memory of a variable to receive the resulting data.
                
            glGetQueryObject returns in params a selected parameter of the query object
            specified by id.
        
            pname names a specific query object parameter.  pname can be as follows:
        
GL_QUERY_RESULT
                        params returns the value of the query object's passed samples counter.
                        The initial value is 0.
                    
GL_QUERY_RESULT_NO_WAIT
                        If the result of the query is available (that is, a query of GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE would
                        return non-zero), then params returns the value of the query object's passed samples counter,
                        otherwise, the data referred to by params is not modified.
                        The initial value is 0.
                    
GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE
                        params returns whether the passed samples counter is immediately available.
                        If a delay would occur waiting for the query result, GL_FALSE is returned.  
                        Otherwise, GL_TRUE is returned, which also indicates that the results of all
                        previous queries are available as well.
                    
            If an error is generated,
            no change is made to the contents of params.
        
            glGetQueryObject implicitly flushes the GL pipeline so that any incomplete rendering
            delimited by the occlusion query completes in finite time.
        
            If multiple queries are issued using the same query object id before calling 
            glGetQueryObject, the results of the most recent query will be returned.  In this case,
            when issuing a new query, the results of the previous query are discarded.
        
            glGetQueryObjecti64v and glGetQueryObjectui64v are available only 
            if the GL version is 3.3 or greater.
        
            GL_QUERY_RESULT_NO_WAIT is accepted for pname only if the
            GL version is 4.4 or greater.
        
            The GL_QUERY_RESULT_BUFFER target is available only if the GL version is 4.4 or higher.
            On earlier versions of the GL, params is always an address in client memory.
        
            GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
        
            GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id is not the name of a query object.
        
            GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id is the name of a currently active 
            query object.
        
            GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a buffer is currently bound to the
            GL_QUERY_RESULT_BUFFER target and the command would cause data to be written beyond the bounds
            of that buffer's data store.
