<para>
<function>glXGetProcAddress</function> returns the address of the function specified in <parameter>procName</parameter>. This is
necessary in environments where the OpenGL link library exports a different
set of functions than the runtime library.

<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
A <constant>NULL</constant> pointer is returned if function requested is not suported
in the implementation being queried.
</para>
<para>
GLU functions are not queryable due to the fact that the library may not be
loaded at the time of the query.
