## Description

`glXQueryServerString` returns a pointer to a static, null-terminated string describing some aspect of the server's GLX extension. The possible values for `name` and the format of the strings is the same as for

glXGetClientString

. If `name` is not set to a recognized value, `NULL` is returned.

## Notes

`glXQueryServerString` is available only if the GLX version is 1.1 or greater.

If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0. If the GLX version is 1.2, the GL version must be 1.1. If the GLX version is 1.3, the GL version must be 1.2.

`glXQueryServerString` only returns information about GLX extensions supported by the server. Call

glGetString

to get a list of GL extensions. Call

glXGetClientString

to get a list of GLX extensions supported by the client.
