NAME

       clGetKernelInfo - Returns information about the kernel object.

       cl_int clGetKernelInfo(cl_kernel kernel, cl_kernel_info param_name, size_t param_value_size,
                              void *param_value, size_t *param_value_size_ret);

PARAMETERS

        kernel
           Specifies the kernel object being queried.

        param_name
           Specifies the information to query. The list of supported param_name types and the information
           returned in param_value by clGetKernelInfo is described in the table below.

        param_value
           A pointer to memory where the appropriate result being queried is returned. If param_value is NULL,
           it is ignored.

        param_value_size
           Used to specify the size in bytes of memory pointed to by param_value. This size must be ≥ size of
           return type as described in the table below.

        param_value_size_ret
           the actual size in bytes of data copied to param_value. If param_value_size_ret is NULL, it is
           ignored.

ERRORS

       Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns one of the following
       errors:

       •   CL_INVALID_VALUE if param_name is not valid, or if size in bytes specified by  param_value_size is <
           size of return type as described in the table above and param_value is not NULL.

       •   CL_INVALID_KERNEL if kernel is not a valid kernel object.

       •   CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation
           on the device.

       •   CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL
           implementation on the host.
