.SH "NAME"
glGetUniformBlockIndex \- retrieve the index of a named uniform block
.SH "C SPECIFICATION"
.HP \w'GLuint\ glGetUniformBlockIndex('u
.BI "GLuint glGetUniformBlockIndex(GLuint\ " "program" ", const\ GLchar\ *" "uniformBlockName" ");"
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP
\fIprogram\fR
.RS 4
Specifies the name of a program containing the uniform block\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIuniformBlockName\fR
.RS 4
Specifies the address an array of characters to containing the name of the uniform block whose index to retrieve\&.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBglGetUniformBlockIndex\fR
retrieves the index of a uniform block within
\fIprogram\fR\&.
.PP
\fIprogram\fR
must be the name of a program object for which the command
\fBglLinkProgram\fR()
must have been called in the past, although it is not required that
\fBglLinkProgram\fR()
must have succeeded\&. The link could have failed because the number of active uniforms exceeded the limit\&.
.PP
\fIuniformBlockName\fR
must contain a nul\-terminated string specifying the name of the uniform block\&.
.PP
\fBglGetUniformBlockIndex\fR
returns the uniform block index for the uniform block named
\fIuniformBlockName\fR
of
\fIprogram\fR\&. If
\fIuniformBlockName\fR
does not identify an active uniform block of
\fIprogram\fR,
\fBglGetUniformBlockIndex\fR
returns the special identifier,
\fBGL_INVALID_INDEX\fR\&. Indices of the active uniform blocks of a program are assigned in consecutive order, beginning with zero\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP
\fBGL_INVALID_OPERATION\fR
is generated if
\fIprogram\fR
is not the name of a program object for which
\fBglLinkProgram\fR()
has been called in the past\&.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
\fBglGetUniformBlockIndex\fR
is available only if the GL version is 3\&.1 or greater\&.
