GLUTEXTENSIONSUPPORTED(3)

✨ GLUTEXTENSIONSUPPORTED(3) ✨

ok bestie so this is glutExtensionSupported from the OpenGLUT manual, section 3 (that's the library-call girlies 💅). Library tag: OpenGLUT - opengl. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

glutExtensionSupported — figure out if an OpenGL extension is even available, no cap.

---

💖 LIBRARY 💖

OpenGLUT — opengl

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openglut.h>

int
glutExtensionSupported(const char *extension);

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• extension — a string-name of an extension. just the name, as a string, okay? 🦋

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So like. This function returns 0 if OpenGLUT can't determine that the extension you asked for is definitely present. That's the whole vibe: no proof, no extension, you get a 0. 🙈

It only checks extensions from glGetString(). that's the only source it's pulling from, periodt.

---

💀 TODO 💀

the devs left some notes and honestly? relatable:

• Wouldn't this be simpler and clearer if we used strtok()?
• Consider an ogWarning() if there is no current rendering context.
• This is an ugly bit of code with 3 return statements, one of which is never reached.

ngl bestie the last one is sending me 😭 three return statements and one of them is literally never reached. it's giving decorative. it's giving set dressing. iconic behaviour fr fr 💀
