glXGetClientString()
NAME
  glXGetClientString - return a string describing the client

SYNOPSIS
  const char * glXGetClientString(
	  Display *dpy,
	  int name );

PARAMETERS
  dpy Specifies the connection to the X server.

  name
      Specifies which string is returned. One of GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VERSION, or
      GLX_EXTENSIONS.

DESCRIPTION
  glXGetClientString() returns a string describing some aspect of the client
  library. The possible values for name are GLX_VENDOR, GLX_VERSION, and
  GLX_EXTENSIONS. If name is not set to one of these values,
  glXGetClientString() returns NULL. The format and contents of the vendor
  string is implementation dependent.

  The extensions string is null-terminated and contains a space-separated
  list of  extension names. (The extension names never contain spaces.) If
  there are no extensions to GLX, then the empty string is returned.

  The version string is laid out as follows:
  <major_version.minor_version><space><vendor-specific info> Both the major
  and minor portions of the version number are of arbitrary length.  The
  vendor-specific information is optional.  However, if it is present, the
  format and contents are implementation specific.

NOTES
  glXGetClientString() is available only if the GLX version is 1.1 or
  greater.

  If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0. If the GLX
  version is 1.2, then the GL version must be 1.1.

  glXGetClientString() only returns information about GLX extensions
  supported by the client. Call glGetString() to get a list of GL extensions
  supported by the server.
