13 <code class="function">glGetActiveUniformBlockiv</code> retrieves information about an active uniform block within <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em>.
14 </p><p>
15 <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> must be the name of a program object for which the command

16 <a 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
17 <a href="glLinkProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glLinkProgram</span></span></a> must have succeeded. The link could have failed because the number

18 of active uniforms exceeded the limit.
19 </p><p>
20 <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
21 of <code class="constant">GL_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_BLOCKS</code>.
22 </p><p>
23 Upon success, the uniform block parameter(s) specified by <em class="parameter"><code>pname</code></em> are returned in <em class="parameter"><code>params</code></em>. If an error
24 occurs, nothing will be written to <em class="parameter"><code>params</code></em>.
25 </p><p>
26 If <em class="parameter"><code>pname</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_BINDING</code>, then the index of the uniform buffer binding point
27 last selected by the uniform block specified by <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em> for <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> is returned. If
28 no uniform block has been previously specified, zero is returned.
29 </p><p>
30 If <em class="parameter"><code>pname</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_DATA_SIZE</code>, then the implementation-dependent minimum total buffer
31 object size, in basic machine units, required to hold all active uniforms in the uniform block identified by <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em>
32 is returned. It is neither guaranteed nor expected that a given implementation will arrange uniform values as tightly packed in a buffer
33 object. The exception to this is the <span class="emphasis"><em>std140 uniform block layout</em></span>, which guarantees specific packing behavior and does not
34 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
35 advance based only on the uniform block declaration.
36 </p><p>
37 If <em class="parameter"><code>pname</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_NAME_LENGTH</code>, then the total length (including the nul terminator) of
38 the name of the uniform block identified by <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em> is returned.
39 </p><p>
40 If <em class="parameter"><code>pname</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORMS</code>, then the number of active uniforms in the uniform
41 block identified by <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em> is returned.
42 </p><p>
43 If <em class="parameter"><code>pname</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_INDICES</code>, then a list of the active uniform indices
44 for the uniform block identified by <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em> is returned. The number of elements that will be written to
45 <em class="parameter"><code>params</code></em> is the value of <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORMS</code> for <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em>.
46 </p><p>
47 If <em class="parameter"><code>pname</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_VERTEX_SHADER</code>, <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_GEOMETRY_SHADER</code>,
48 or <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_FRAGMENT_SHADER</code>, then a boolean value indicating whether the uniform block identified by
49 <em class="parameter"><code>uniformBlockIndex</code></em> is referenced by the vertex, geometry, or fragment programming stages of program, respectively, is returned.
