2005 Sams Publishing glGetBufferParameteriv 3G glGetBufferParameteriv return parameters of a buffer object void glGetBufferParameteriv GLenum target GLenum value GLint * data target Specifies the target buffer object. The symbolic constant must be GL_ARRAY_BUFFER or GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER. value Specifies the symbolic name of a buffer object parameter. Accepted values are GL_BUFFER_SIZE or GL_BUFFER_USAGE. data Returns the requested parameter. glGetBufferParameteriv returns in data a selected parameter of the buffer object specified by target. value names a specific buffer object parameter, as follows: GL_BUFFER_SIZE params returns the size of the buffer object, measured in bytes. The initial value is 0. GL_BUFFER_USAGE params returns the buffer object's usage pattern. The initial value is GL_STATIC_DRAW. If an error is generated, no change is made to the contents of data. GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target or value is not an accepted value. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the reserved buffer object name 0 is bound to target. glBindBuffer, glBufferData Copyright 2005 Addison-Wesley.
