eglInitialize

initialize an EGL display connection

C Specification

EGLBoolean eglInitialize( EGLDisplay  display,
  EGLint *  major,
  EGLint *  minor)

Parameters

display

Specifies the EGL display connection to initialize.

major

Returns the major version number of the EGL implementation. May be NULL.

minor

Returns the minor version number of the EGL implementation. May be NULL.

Description

eglInitialize initialized the EGL display connection obtained with eglGetDisplay. Initializing an already initialized EGL display connection has no effect besides returning the version numbers.

major and minor do not return values if they are specified as NULL.

Use eglTerminate to release resources associated with an EGL display connection.

Errors

EGL_FALSE is returned if eglInitialize fails, EGL_TRUE otherwise. major and minor are not modified when EGL_FALSE is returned.

EGL_BAD_DISPLAY is generated if display is not an EGL display connection.

EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED is generated if display cannot be initialized.
