<para><function>glGetVertexAttrib</function> returns in
<parameter>params</parameter> the value of a generic vertex
attribute parameter. The generic vertex attribute to be queried
is specified by <parameter>index</parameter>, and the parameter
to be queried is specified by <parameter>pname</parameter>.</para>
<para>The accepted parameter names are as follows:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</constant></term>
<listitem>
<para>
</para>
<para> <parameter>params</parameter> returns a
single value, the name of the buffer object currently bound to
the binding point corresponding to generic vertex attribute array
<parameter>index</parameter>. If no buffer object is bound,
0 is returned. The initial value is 0.</para>

<para>
</para>
<para> <parameter>params</parameter> returns a

initial value is 4.</para>

indicates that the array elements are stored
sequentially in memory. The initial value is 0.</para>

they are converted to floating point, and 0 (false)
otherwise. The initial value is

<para> <parameter>params</parameter> returns a
single value that is non-zero (true) if fixed-point
data types for the vertex attribute array indicated

otherwise. The initial value is
0 (<constant>GL_FALSE</constant>).</para>

for all generic vertex attributes is (0,0,0,1).</para>
