NAME
cgGetParameterBaseResource - get a parameter's base resource
SYNOPSIS
#include <Cg/cg.h> CGresource cgGetParameterBaseResource( CGparameter param );PARAMETERS
- param
The parameter.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the base resource of param.
Returns CG_UNDEFINED if no base resource exists for the given parameter.
DESCRIPTION
cgGetParameterBaseResource allows the application to retrieve the base resource for a parameter in a Cg program. The base resource is the first resource in a set of sequential resources. For example, if a given parameter has a resource of CG_ATTR7, it's base resource would be CG_ATTR0. Only parameters with resources whose name ends with a number will have a base resource. For all other parameters the undefined resource CG_UNDEFINED will be returned.
The numerical portion of the resource may be retrieved with cgGetParameterResourceIndex. For example, if the resource for a given parameter is CG_ATTR7, cgGetParameterResourceIndex will return 7.
EXAMPLES
/* log info about parameter param for debugging */ printf("Resource: %s:%d (base %s)\n", cgGetResourceString(cgGetParameterResource(param)), cgGetParameterResourceIndex(param), cgGetResourceString(cgGetParameterBaseResource(param)));ERRORS
CG_INVALID_PARAM_HANDLE_ERROR is generated if param is not a valid parameter.
CG_INVALID_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if param is not a leaf node.
HISTORY
cgGetParameterBaseResource was introduced in Cg 1.1.
