        <para>
            <function>glGetProgramResourceLocation</function> returns the location assigned
            to the variable named <parameter>name</parameter> in interface <parameter>programInterface</parameter> of program
            object <parameter>program</parameter>.  <parameter>program</parameter> must be the name of a program that has been
            linked successfully. <parameter>programInterface</parameter> must
            be one of <constant>GL_UNIFORM</constant>, <constant>GL_PROGRAM_INPUT</constant>, <constant>GL_PROGRAM_OUTPUT</constant>,
            <constant>GL_VERTEX_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM</constant>, <constant>GL_TESS_CONTROL_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM</constant>,
            <constant>GL_TESS_EVALUATION_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM</constant>, <constant>GL_GEOMETRY_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM</constant>,
            <constant>GL_FRAGMENT_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM</constant>, <constant>GL_COMPUTE_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM</constant>, or <constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER</constant>.
       </para>
       <para>
            The value -1 will be returned if an error occurs, if <parameter>name</parameter> does not identify an active variable on
            <parameter>programInterface</parameter>, or if <parameter>name</parameter> identifies an active variable that does
            not have a valid location assigned, as described above.  The locations
            returned by these commands are the same locations returned when querying
            the <constant>GL_LOCATION</constant> and <constant>GL_LOCATION_INDEX</constant> resource properties.
        </para>
        <para>
            A string provided to <function>glGetProgramResourceLocation</function> is considered to match an active variable if:
        </para>
        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem>
                <para>
                    the string exactly matches the name of the active variable
                </para>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                <para>
                    if the string identifies the base name of an active array, where the
                    string would exactly match the name of the variable if the suffix
                    "[0]" were appended to the string
                </para>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                <para>
                    if the string identifies an active element of the array, where the
                    string ends with the concatenation of the "[" character, an integer
                    <emphasis>with no "+" sign, extra leading zeroes, or whitespace</emphasis> identifying an
                    array element, and the "]" character, the integer is less than the
                    number of active elements of the array variable, and where the string
                    would exactly match the enumerated name of the array if the decimal
                    integer were replaced with zero.
                </para>
            </listitem>
        </itemizedlist>
        <para>
            Any other string is considered not to identify an active variable.  If the
            string specifies an element of an array variable,
            <function>glGetProgramResourceLocation</function> returns the
            location assigned to that element.  If it
            specifies the base name of an array, it identifies the resources
            associated with the first element of the array.
