glGetInternalformativ

glGetInternalformativ retrieves information about implementation-dependent support for internal formats. target indicates the target with which the internal format will be used and must be GL_RENDERBUFFER , corresponding to usage as a renderbuffer.

internalformat specifies the internal format about which to retrieve information and must be a color-renderable, depth-renderable or stencil-renderable format.

The information retrieved will be written to memory addressed by the pointer specified in params . No more than bufSize integers will be written to this memory.

If pname is GL_NUM_SAMPLE_COUNTS , the number of sample counts that would be returned by querying GL_SAMPLES will be returned in params .

If pname is GL_SAMPLES , the sample counts supported for internalformat and target are written into params in descending numeric order. Only positive values are returned. Querying GL_SAMPLES with bufSize of one will return just the maximum supported number of samples for this format.

Since multisampling is not supported for signed and unsigned integer internal formats, the value of GL_NUM_SAMPLE_COUNTS will be zero for such formats. If internalformat is GL_RGBA16F , GL_R32F , GL_RG32F , or GL_RGBA32F , the value of GL_NUM_SAMPLE_COUNTS may be zero, or else the maximum value in GL_SAMPLES may be less than the value of GL_MAX_SAMPLES . For every other accepted internalformat , the maximum value in GL_SAMPLES is guaranteed to be at least GL_MAX_SAMPLES .

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if bufSize is negative.

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not GL_SAMPLES or GL_NUM_SAMPLE_COUNTS .

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if internalformat is not color-, depth-, or stencil-renderable.

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not GL_RENDERBUFFER .
