string = glu.GetString(name)

The version number is one of the following forms:

<major_number>.<minor_number> <major_number>.<minor_number>.<release_number>

The version string is of the following form:

<version number><space><vendor-specific information>

Vendor-specific information is optional. Its format and contents depend on the implementation.

The standard GLU contains a basic set of features and capabilities. If a company or group of companies wish to support other features, these may be included as extensions to the GLU. If name is #GLU_EXTENSIONS, then glu.GetString() returns a space-separated list of names of supported GLU extensions. (Extension names never contain spaces.)

Please note that glu.GetString() only returns information about GLU extensions. Call gl.GetString() to get a list of GL extensions.

glu.GetString() is an initialization routine. Calling it after a gl.NewList() results in undefined behavior.

Please consult an OpenGL reference manual for more information.
