- A
Glenum
specifying the information to query. Possible values:gl.DELETE_STATUS
: Returns aGLboolean
indicating whether or not the program is flagged for deletion.gl.LINK_STATUS
: Returns aGLboolean
indicating whether or not the last link operation was successful.gl.VALIDATE_STATUS

indicating the number of uniform blocks containing active uniforms.
Return value
Returns the requested program information (as specified with pname
).
