glXQueryVersion

NAME

glXQueryVersion -- return the version numbers of the GLX extension

C SPECIFICATION

Bool glXQueryVersion(Display *dpy,
                     int *major,
                     int *minor)

PARAMETERS

dpy
Specifies the connection to the X server.

major
Returns the major version number of the GLX server extension.

minor
Returns the minor version number of the GLX server extension.

DESCRIPTION

glXQueryVersion returns the major and minor version numbers of the GLX extension implemented by the server associated with connection dpy. Implementations with the same major version number are upward compatible, meaning that the implementation with the higher minor number is a superset of the version with the lower minor number.

major and minor do not return values if they are specified as NULL.

ERRORS

glXQueryVersion returns False if it fails, True otherwise. major and minor are not updated when False is returned.

NOTES

If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, then the GL version must be 1.0.
