# glGetSamplerParameter

return sampler parameter values

## C Specification

                    void glGetSamplerParameterfv
                    GLuint sampler
                    GLenum pname
                    GLfloat * params

                    void glGetSamplerParameteriv
                    GLuint sampler
                    GLenum pname
                    GLint * params

## Parameters

`sampler`

  Specifies name of the sampler object from which to retrieve parameters.

`pname`

  Specifies the symbolic name of a sampler parameter. `GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER`, `GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER`, `GL_TEXTURE_MIN_LOD`, `GL_TEXTURE_MAX_LOD`, `GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S`, `GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T`, `GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_R`, `GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE`, and `GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_FUNC` are accepted.

`params`

  Returns the sampler parameters.

## Description

`glGetSamplerParameter`* returns in `params` the value or values of the sampler parameter specified as `pname`. `sampler` defines the target sampler, and must be the name of an existing sampler object, returned from a previous call to glGenSamplers. `pname` accepts the same symbols as glSamplerParameter*, with the same interpretations:

`GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER`

  Returns the single-valued texture magnification filter, a symbolic constant. The initial value is `GL_LINEAR`.

`GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER`

  Returns the single-valued texture minification filter, a symbolic constant. The initial value is `GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR`.

`GL_TEXTURE_MIN_LOD`

  Returns the single-valued texture minimum level-of-detail value. The initial value is -1000 .

`GL_TEXTURE_MAX_LOD`

  Returns the single-valued texture maximum level-of-detail value. The initial value is 1000.

`GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S`

  Returns the single-valued wrapping function for texture coordinate s, a symbolic constant. The initial value is `GL_REPEAT`.

`GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T`

  Returns the single-valued wrapping function for texture coordinate t, a symbolic constant. The initial value is `GL_REPEAT`.

`GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_R`

  Returns the single-valued wrapping function for texture coordinate r, a symbolic constant. The initial value is `GL_REPEAT`.

`GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE`

  Returns a single-valued texture comparison mode, a symbolic constant. The initial value is `GL_NONE`. See glSamplerParameter.

`GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_FUNC`

  Returns a single-valued texture comparison function, a symbolic constant. The initial value is `GL_LEQUAL`. See glSamplerParameter.

## Notes

If an error is generated, no change is made to the contents of `params`.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_OPERATION` is generated if `sampler` is not the name of a sampler object returned from a previous call to glGenSamplers.

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

## API Version Support
