## Name

glGetSynciv — query the properties of a sync object

## C Specification

`void glGetSynciv(` | GLsync sync,
| GLenum pname,
| GLsizei bufSize,
| GLsizei *length,
| GLint *values`)`;

## Parameters

`sync`

  Specifies the sync object whose properties to query.

`pname`

  Specifies the parameter whose value to retrieve from the sync object specified in `sync`.

`bufSize`

  Specifies the size of the buffer whose address is given in `values`.

`length`

  Specifies the address of an variable to receive the number of integers placed in `values`.

`values`

  Specifies the address of an array to receive the values of the queried parameter.

## Description

`glGetSynciv` retrieves properties of a sync object. `sync` specifies the name of the sync object whose properties to retrieve.

On success, `glGetSynciv` replaces up to `bufSize` integers in `values` with the corresponding property values of the object being queried. The actual number of integers replaced is returned in the variable whose address is specified in `length`. If `length` is `NULL`, no length is returned.

If `pname` is `GL_OBJECT_TYPE`, a single value representing the specific type of the sync object is placed in `values`. The only type supported is `GL_SYNC_FENCE`.

If `pname` is `GL_SYNC_STATUS`, a single value representing the status of the sync object (`GL_SIGNALED` or `GL_UNSIGNALED`) is placed in `values`.

If `pname` is `GL_SYNC_CONDITION`, a single value representing the condition of the sync object is placed in `values`. The only condition supported is `GL_SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE`.

If `pname` is `GL_SYNC_FLAGS`, a single value representing the flags with which the sync object was created is placed in `values`. No flags are currently supported[1].

If an error occurs, nothing will be written to `values` or `length`.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_VALUE` is generated if `sync` is not the name of a sync object.

`GL_INVALID_ENUM` is generated if `pname` is not one of the accepted tokens.
