67 <para>\r
68 <function>glGetActiveUniformBlockiv</function> retrieves information about an active uniform block within <parameter>program</parameter>.\r
69 </para>\r
70 <para>\r
71 <parameter>program</parameter> must be the name of a program object for which the command\r
72 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry> must have been called in the past, although it is not required that\r
73 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry> must have succeeded. The link could have failed because the number\r
74 of active uniforms exceeded the limit.\r
75 </para>\r
76 <para>\r
77 <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter> is an active uniform block index of <parameter>program</parameter>, and must be less than the value\r
78 of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_BLOCKS</constant>.\r
79 </para>\r
80 <para>\r
81 Upon success, the uniform block parameter(s) specified by <parameter>pname</parameter> are returned in <parameter>params</parameter>. If an error\r
82 occurs, nothing will be written to <parameter>params</parameter>.\r
83 </para>\r
84 <para>\r
85 If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_BINDING</constant>, then the index of the uniform buffer binding point\r
86 last selected by the uniform block specified by <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter> for <parameter>program</parameter> is returned. If\r
87 no uniform block has been previously specified, zero is returned.\r
88 </para>\r
89 <para>\r
90 If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_DATA_SIZE</constant>, then the implementation-dependent minimum total buffer\r
91 object size, in basic machine units, required to hold all active uniforms in the uniform block identified by <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter>\r
92 is returned. It is neither guaranteed nor expected that a given implementation will arrange uniform values as tightly packed in a buffer\r
93 object. The exception to this is the <emphasis>std140 uniform block layout</emphasis>, which guarantees specific packing behavior and does not\r
94 require the application to query for offsets and strides. In this case the minimum size may still be queried, even though it is determined in\r
95 advance based only on the uniform block declaration.\r
96 </para>\r
97 <para>\r
98 If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_NAME_LENGTH</constant>, then the total length (including the nul terminator) of\r
99 the name of the uniform block identified by <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter> is returned.\r
100 </para>\r
101 <para>\r
102 If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORMS</constant>, then the number of active uniforms in the uniform\r
103 block identified by <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter> is returned.\r
104 </para>\r
105 <para>\r
106 If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_INDICES</constant>, then a list of the active uniform indices\r
107 for the uniform block identified by <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter> is returned. The number of elements that will be written to\r
108 <parameter>params</parameter> is the value of <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORMS</constant> for <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter>.\r
109 </para>\r
110 <para>\r
111 If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_VERTEX_SHADER</constant>, <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_GEOMETRY_SHADER</constant>,\r
112 or <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_FRAGMENT_SHADER</constant>, then a boolean value indicating whether the uniform block identified by\r
113 <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter> is referenced by the vertex, geometry, or fragment programming stages of program, respectively, is returned.\r
114 </para>\r
115 </refsect1>\r
116 <refsect1 id="errors"><title>Errors</title>\r
117 <para>\r
118 <constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter> is greater than or equal to the value\r
119 of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_BLOCKS</constant> or is not the index of an active uniform block in <parameter>program</parameter>.\r
120 </para>\r
121 <para>\r
122 <constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>pname</parameter> is not one of the accepted tokens.\r
123 </para>\r
124 <para>\r
125 <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if <parameter>program</parameter> is not the name of a program object for which\r
