# gluErrorString

produce an error string from a GL or GLU error code

## C Specification

                    const GLubyte * gluErrorString
                    GLenum error

## Parameters

`error`

  Specifies a GL or GLU error code.

## Description

`gluErrorString` produces an error string from a GL or GLU error code. The string is in ISO Latin 1 format. For example, `gluErrorString`(`GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY`) returns the string out of memory.

The standard GLU error codes are `GLU_INVALID_ENUM`, `GLU_INVALID_VALUE`, and `GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY`. Certain other GLU functions can return specialized error codes through callbacks. See the glGetError reference page for the list of GL error codes.

## Errors

`NULL` is returned if `error` is not a valid GL or GLU error code.
