void glGetPointerv( GLenum pname,

                  void **params )

pname	Specifies the array or buffer pointer to be returned. Symbolic constants  GL_COLOR_ARRAY_POINTER,  GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY_POINTER,  GL_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_POINTER,  GL_INDEX_ARRAY_POINTER,  GL_NORMAL_ARRAY_POINTER,  GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER,  GL_SELECTION_BUFFER_POINTER, and  GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_POINTER are accepted.
params	Returns the pointer value specified by pname.

 glGetPointerv returns pointer information. pname is a symbolic constant indicating the pointer to be returned, and params is a pointer to a location in which to place the returned data.

 glGetPointerv is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

The pointers are all client-side state.

The initial value for each pointer is 0.

When the  GL_ARB_multitexture extension is supported, querying the  GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_POINTER returns the value for the active client texture unit.

 GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
