NAME
       gluGetString  -	return	a  string  describing  the GLU version or GLU
       extensions


C SPECIFICATION
       const GLubyte * gluGetString( GLenum name )


PARAMETERS
       name  Specifies	a  symbolic  constant,	 one   of   GLU_VERSION,   or
	     GLU_EXTENSIONS.

DESCRIPTION
       gluGetString  returns  a pointer to a static string describing the GLU
       version or the GLU extensions that are supported.

       The version number is one of the following forms:

       major_number.minor_number
       major_number.minor_number.release_number.

       The version string is of the following form:

       version number<space>vendor-specific information

       Vendor-specific information is optional.	 Its  and contents depend  on
       the implementation.

       The  standard  GLU  contains a basic set of features and capabilities.
       If a company or group of companies wish	to  support  other  features,
       these  may  be  included	 as  extensions	 to  the  GLU.	 If  name  is
       GLU_EXTENSIONS, then gluGetString returns a  space-separated  list  of
       names  of  supported  GLU  extensions.  (Extension names never contain
       spaces.)

       All strings are null-terminated.

NOTES
       gluGetString only  returns  information	about  GLU  extensions.	 Call
       glGetString to get a list of GL extensions.

       gluGetString   is  an  initialization  routine.	Calling	 it  after  a
       glNewList results in undefined behavior.

ERRORS
       NULL is returned if name is not GLU_VERSION or GLU_EXTENSIONS.
