Name

glProgramParameteri — specify a parameter for a program object

C Specification

void glProgramParameteri(GLuint program,
 GLenum pname,
 GLint value);
 

Parameters

program

Specifies the name of a program object whose parameter to modify.

pname

Specifies the name of the parameter to modify.

value

Specifies the new value of the parameter specified by pname for program.

Description

glProgramParameteri specifies a new value for the parameter nameed by pname for the program object program.

If pname is GL_PROGRAM_BINARY_RETRIEVABLE_HINT, value should be GL_FALSE or GL_TRUE to indicate to the implementation the intention of the application to retrieve the program's binary representation with glGetProgramBinary. The implementation may use this information to store information that may be useful for a future query of the program's binary. It is recommended to set GL_PROGRAM_BINARY_RETRIEVABLE_HINT for the program to GL_TRUE before calling glLinkProgram, and using the program at run-time if the binary is to be retrieved later.

Errors

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program is not the name of an existing program object.

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not GL_PROGRAM_BINARY_RETRIEVABLE_HINT.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if value is not GL_FALSE or GL_TRUE.

Associated Gets
