            <function>glGetActiveSubroutineName</function> queries the name of an active shader subroutine uniform from the
            program object given in <parameter>program</parameter>. <parameter>index</parameter> specifies the index of
            the shader subroutine uniform within the shader stage given by <parameter>stage</parameter>, and must between
            zero and the value of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINES</constant> minus one for the shader stage.
        </para>
        <para>
            The name of the selected subroutine is returned as a null-terminated string in <parameter>name</parameter>. The
            actual number of characters written into <parameter>name</parameter>, not including the null-terminator, is
            is returned in <parameter>length</parameter>. If <parameter>length</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>,
            no length is returned. The maximum number of characters that may be written into <parameter>name</parameter>,
            including the null-terminator, is given in <parameter>bufsize</parameter>.
