NAME

       glGetTransformFeedbackVarying - retrieve information about varying variables selected for
       transform feedback

C SPECIFICATION

       void glGetTransformFeedbackVarying(GLuintprogram, GLuintindex, GLsizeibufSize,
                                          GLsizei *length, GLsizei *size, GLenum *type,
                                          char *name);

PARAMETERS

       program
           The name of the target program object.

       index
           The index of the varying variable whose information to retrieve.

       bufSize
           The maximum number of characters, including the null terminator, that may be written
           into name.

       length
           The address of a variable which will receive the number of characters written into
           name, excluding the null-terminator. If length is NULL no length is returned.

       size
           The address of a variable that will receive the size of the varying.

       type
           The address of a variable that will recieve the type of the varying.

       name
           The address of a buffer into which will be written the name of the varying.

DESCRIPTION

       Information about the set of varying variables in a linked program that will be captured
       during transform feedback may be retrieved by calling glGetTransformFeedbackVarying.
       glGetTransformFeedbackVarying provides information about the varying variable selected by
       index. An index of 0 selects the first varying variable specified in the varyings array
       passed to glTransformFeedbackVaryings(), and an index of the value of
       GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYINGS minus one selects the last such variable.

       The name of the selected varying is returned as a null-terminated string in name. The
       actual number of characters written into name, excluding the null terminator, is returned
       in length. If length is NULL, no length is returned. The maximum number of characters that
       may be written into name, including the null terminator, is specified by bufSize.

       The length of the longest varying name in program is given by
       GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYING_MAX_LENGTH, which can be queried with glGetProgram().

       For the selected varying variable, its type is returned into type. The size of the varying
       is returned into size. The value in size is in units of the type returned in type. The
       type returned can be any of the scalar, vector, or matrix attribute types returned by
       glGetActiveAttrib(). If an error occurred, the return parameters length, size, type and
       name will be unmodified. This command will return as much information about the varying
       variables as possible. If no information is available, length will be set to zero and name
       will be an empty string. This situation could arise if glGetTransformFeedbackVarying is
       called after a failed link.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if program is not the name of a program object.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if index is greater or equal to the value of
       GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYINGS.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated program has not been linked.

ASSOCIATED GETS

       glGetProgram() with argument GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYING_MAX_LENGTH.
