.SH DESCRIPTION
\f3glGetPointerv\fP returns pointer information. \f2pname\fP 
is a symbolic constant indicating the pointer to be returned, and
\f2params\fP is a pointer to a location in which to place the returned data. 
.SH NOTES
\f3glGetPointerv\fP is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
.P
The pointers are all client-side state.
.P
The initial value for each pointer is 0. 
.SH ERRORS
\f3GL_INVALID_ENUM\fP is generated if \f2pname\fP is not an accepted value.
