glGetPointerv(3G)

NAME
     glGetPointerv - return the address of the specified pointer


C SPECIFICATION
     void glGetPointerv( GLenum pname,
                         GLvoid* *params )


PARAMETERS
     pname   Specifies the array or buffer pointer to be returned.  Symbolic
             constants GL_COLOR_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY_POINTER,
             GL_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_POINTER, GL_INDEX_ARRAY_POINTER,
             GL_NORMAL_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER,
             GL_SELECTION_BUFFER_POINTER, and GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_POINTER are
             accepted.

     params  Returns the pointer value specified by pname.

DESCRIPTION
     glGetPointerv returns pointer information. pname is a symbolic constant
     indicating the pointer to be returned, and params is a pointer to a
     location in which to place the returned data.

NOTES
     glGetPointerv is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

     The pointers are all client-side state.

     The initial value for each pointer is 0.

ERRORS
     GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
