NAME

       glGetSubroutineIndex - retrieve the index of a subroutine uniform of a given shader stage within a program

C SPECIFICATION

       GLuint glGetSubroutineIndex(GLuint program, GLenum shadertype, const GLchar *name);

PARAMETERS

       program
	   Specifies the name of the program containing shader stage.

       shadertype
	   Specifies the shader stage from which to query for subroutine uniform index.  shadertype must be one of GL_VERTEX_SHADER,
	   GL_TESS_CONTROL_SHADER, GL_TESS_EVALUATION_SHADER, GL_GEOMETRY_SHADER or GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER.

       name
	   Specifies the name of the subroutine uniform whose index to query.

DESCRIPTION

       glGetSubroutineIndex returns the index of a subroutine uniform within a shader stage attached to a program object.  program contains the
       name of the program to which the shader is attached.  shadertype specifies the stage from which to query shader subroutine index.  name
       contains the null-terminated name of the subroutine uniform whose name to query.

       If name is not the name of a subroutine uniform in the shader stage, GL_INVALID_INDEX is returned, but no error is generated. If name is
       the name of a subroutine uniform in the shader stage, a value between zero and the value of GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINES minus one will be
       returned. Subroutine indices are assigned using consecutive integers in the range from zero to the value of GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINES minus one
       for the shader stage.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if shadertype or pname is not one of the accepted values.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if program is not the name of an existing program object.
