Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

'''_glGetString:''' return a string describing the current GL connection
{{PageSyntax}}
FUNCTION _glGetString&& (BYVAL name AS _UNSIGNED LONG)
const GLubyte* '''_glGetString'''(GLenum {{Parameter|name}});
const GLubyte* '''_glGetStringi'''(GLenum {{Parameter|name}}, GLuint {{Parameter|index}});
; name
: Specifies a symbolic constant, one of {{KW|_GL_VENDOR}}, {{KW|_GL_RENDERER}}, {{KW|_GL_VERSION}}, or {{KW|_GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION}}. Additionally, '''_glGetStringi''' accepts the {{KW|_GL_EXTENSIONS}} token.
; index
: For '''_glGetStringi''', specifies the index of the string to return.
{{PageDescription}}
'''_glGetString''' returns a pointer to a static string describing some aspect of the current GL connection. {{Parameter|name}} can be one of the following:
; {{KW|_GL_VENDOR}}
:
Returns the company responsible for this GL implementation. This name does not change from release to release.
; {{KW|_GL_RENDERER}}
:
Returns the name of the renderer. This name is typically specific to a particular configuration of a hardware platform. It does not change from release to release.
; {{KW|_GL_VERSION}}
:
Returns a version or release number.
; {{KW|_GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION}}
:
Returns a version or release number for the shading language.
Strings {{KW|_GL_VENDOR}} and {{KW|_GL_RENDERER}} together uniquely specify a platform. They do not change from release to release and should be used by platform-recognition algorithms.
'''_glGetStringi''' returns a pointer to a static string indexed by {{Parameter|index}}. {{Parameter|name}} can be one of the following:
; {{KW|_GL_EXTENSIONS}}
: For '''_glGetStringi''' only, returns the extension string supported by the implementation at {{Parameter|index}}. The index {{Parameter|index}} is on the range [0 to {{KW|_glGet|Integerv(GL_NUM_EXTENSIONS)}} - 1].
; {{KW|_GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION}}
: Returns one of the versions of [[GLSL]] supported by this implementation. {{Parameter|index}} is on the range [0 to {{KW|_glGet|Integerv(GL_NUM_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSIONS)}} - 1].
The {{KW|_GL_VERSION}} and {{KW|_GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION}} strings begin with a version number. The version number uses one of these forms:
''major_number.minor_number''
or
''major_number.minor_number.release_number''
Vendor-specific information may follow the version number. Its format depends on the implementation, but a space always separates the version number and the vendor-specific information.
All strings are null-terminated.
{{PageNotes}}
If an error is generated, '''_glGetString''' returns 0.
The client and server may support different versions. '''_glGetString''' always returns a compatible version number. The release number always describes the server.
{{PageErrors}}
{{KW|_GL_INVALID_ENUM}} is generated if {{Parameter|name}} is not an accepted value.
{{KW|_GL_INVALID_VALUE}} is generated by '''_glGetStringi''' if {{Parameter|index}} is outside the valid range for indexed state {{Parameter|name}}.
