glGetPointerv(3G)
NAME
  glGetPointerv - return the address of the specified pointer

SYNOPSIS
  void glGetPointerv(
	  GLenum pname,
	  GLvoid* *params );

PARAMETERS
  pname
      Specifies the array or buffer pointer to be returned. Symbolic
      constants GL_COLOR_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY_POINTER,
      GL_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_POINTER, GL_INDEX_ARRAY_POINTER,
      GL_NORMAL_ARRAY_POINTER, GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER,
      GL_SELECTION_BUFFER_POINTER, and GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_POINTER are accepted.

  params
      Returns the pointer value specified by pname.

DESCRIPTION
  glGetPointerv() returns pointer information.	pname is a symbolic constant
  indicating the pointer to be returned, and params is a pointer to a
  location in which to place the returned data.

NOTES
  glGetPointerv() is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

  The pointers are all client-side state.

  The initial value for each pointer is 0.

  When the GL_ARB_multitexture extension is supported, querying the
  GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER returns the value for the active client
  texture unit.

ERRORS
  GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
