15 <code class="function">glGetActiveUniformBlockName</code> retrieves the name of the active uniform block at <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em>
16 within <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em>.
17 </p><p>
18 <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> must be the name of a program object for which the command
19 <a class="citerefentry" href="glLinkProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glLinkProgram</span></span></a> must have been called in the past, although it is not required that
20 <a class="citerefentry" href="glLinkProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glLinkProgram</span></span></a> must have succeeded. The link could have failed because the number
21 of active uniforms exceeded the limit.
22 </p><p>
23 <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em> is an active uniform block index of <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em>, and must be less than the value
24 of <code class="constant">GL_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_BLOCKS</code>.
25 </p><p>
26 Upon success, the name of the uniform block identified by <em class="parameter"><code>unifomBlockIndex</code></em> is returned into
27 <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockName</code></em>. The name is nul-terminated. The actual number of characters written into <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockName</code></em>,
28 excluding the nul terminator, is returned in <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em>. If <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em> is <code class="code">NULL</code>, no length is returned.
29 </p><p>
30 <em class="parameter"><code>bufSize</code></em> contains the maximum number of characters (including the nul terminator) that will be written into
31 <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockName</code></em>.
32 </p><p>
33 If an error occurs, nothing will be written to <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockName</code></em> or <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em>.

35 <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> is not the name of a program object for which
36 <a class="citerefentry" href="glLinkProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glLinkProgram</span></span></a> has been called in the past.
37 </p><p>
38 <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em> is greater than or equal to the value
39 of <code class="constant">GL_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_BLOCKS</code> or is not the index of an active uniform block in <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em>.
