C SPECIFICATION

       const char glXGetClientString( Display *dpy,
                                      int name )

PARAMETERS

       dpy   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       name  Specifies   which   string   is  returned.   One  of  GLX_VENDOR,
             GLX_VERSION, or GLX_EXTENSIONS.

DESCRIPTION

       glXGetClientString returns a  string  describing  some  aspect  of  the
       client   library.   The   possible  values  for  name  are  GLX_VENDOR,
       GLX_VERSION, and GLX_EXTENSIONS. If name is not set  to  one  of  these
       values,  glXGetClientString  returns  NULL.  The format and contents of
       the vendor string is implementation dependent.

       The extensions string is null-terminated and contains a space-separated
       list  of   extension names. (The extension names never contain spaces.)
       If there are no extensions to GLX, then the empty string is returned.

       The version string is laid out as follows:

       <major_version.minor_version><space><vendor-specific info>

       Both the major and minor portions of the version number  are  of  arbi-
       trary  length.   The vendor-specific information is optional.  However,
       if it is present, the format and contents are implementation  specific.

NOTES

       glXGetClientString  is  available  only  if  the  GLX version is 1.1 or
       greater.

       If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0.   If  the
       GLX  version  is 1.2, then the GL version must be 1.1.  If the GLX ver-
       sion is 1.3, then the GL version must be 1.2.

       glXGetClientString only returns information about GLX  extensions  sup-
       ported  by the client.  Call glGetString to get a list of GL extensions
       supported by the server.
