GLUTGETWINDOW(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is the glutGetWindow(3) page from the OpenGLUT window crew, and the name line is literally:

glutGetWindow — Return the current window identifier, 0 if undefined

📚 LIBRARY 📚

filed under OpenGLUT - window. 🪟✨

🪄 SYNOPSIS 🪄

#include <openglut.h>

int
glutGetWindow(void);

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so glutGetWindow() returns the window id of the current window. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. 💅

It’s useful, like, e.g., if you have a generic function that is used with several windows and it needs to temporarily change to another window. so you peek at who's current, then swap. main character energy. 👑

no cap: there is no window stack for you to use with pushes and pops. do not be confused by glutPushWindow() and glutPopWindow(); those pushes and pops are not stack-related! 😭 the way that those names are giving stack but they are literally not stack... iykyk. 🫠

One cause for the function to return 0 is if you have called glutDestroyWindow() on the current window and have done nothing to set a new window as current. so if you destroyed your current window and didn't crown a new one? boom: 0. 💀 periodt.
