</h2><p>
20 Information about the set of varying variables in a linked program that will be captured
21 during transform feedback may be retrieved by calling
<code class=
"function">glGetTransformFeedbackVarying
</code>.
22 <code class=
"function">glGetTransformFeedbackVarying
</code> provides information about the varying
23 variable selected by
<em class=
"parameter"><code>index
</code></em>. An
<em class=
"parameter"><code>index
</code></em> of
0 selects
24 the first varying variable specified in the
<em class=
"parameter"><code>varyings
</code></em> array passed
25 to
<a href=
"glTransformFeedbackVaryings.xml"><span class=
"citerefentry"><span class=
"refentrytitle">glTransformFeedbackVaryings
</span></span></a>, and
26 an
<em class=
"parameter"><code>index
</code></em> of
<code class=
"constant">GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYINGS-
1</code> selects
27 the last such variable.
29 The name of the selected varying is returned as a null-terminated string in
30 <em class=
"parameter"><code>name
</code></em>. The actual number of characters written into
<em class=
"parameter"><code>name
</code></em>,
31 excluding the null terminator, is returned in
<em class=
"parameter"><code>length
</code></em>. If
<em class=
"parameter"><code>length
</code></em>
32 is NULL, no length is returned. The maximum number of characters that may be written into
<em class=
"parameter"><code>name
</code></em>,
33 including the null terminator, is specified by
<em class=
"parameter"><code>bufSize
</code></em>.
35 The length of the longest varying name in program is given by
<code class=
"constant">GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYING_MAX_LENGTH
</code>,
36 which can be queried with
<a href=
"glGetProgram.xml"><span class=
"citerefentry"><span class=
"refentrytitle">glGetProgram
</span></span></a>.
38 For the selected varying variable, its type is returned into
<em class=
"parameter"><code>type
</code></em>. The size of
39 the varying is returned into
<em class=
"parameter"><code>size
</code></em>. The value in
<em class=
"parameter"><code>size
</code></em> is
40 in units of the type returned in
<em class=
"parameter"><code>type
</code></em>. The type returned can be any of the
41 scalar, vector, or matrix attribute types returned by
<a href=
"glGetActiveAttrib.xml"><span class=
"citerefentry"><span class=
"refentrytitle">glGetActiveAttrib
</span></span></a>.
42 If an error occurred, the return parameters
<em class=
"parameter"><code>length
</code></em>,
<em class=
"parameter"><code>size
</code></em>,
43 <em class=
"parameter"><code>type
</code></em> and
<em class=
"parameter"><code>name
</code></em> will be unmodified. This command will return as much
44 information about the varying variables as possible. If no information is available,
<em class=
"parameter"><code>length
</code></em>
45 will be set to zero and
<em class=
"parameter"><code>name
</code></em> will be an empty string. This situation could
46 arise if
<code class=
"function">glGetTransformFeedbackVarying
</code> is called after a failed link.
