        <para>
            <function>glGetProgramStage</function> queries a parameter of a shader stage attached to a program object.
            <parameter>program</parameter> contains the name of the program to which the shader is attached. <parameter>shadertype</parameter>
            specifies the stage from which to query the parameter. <parameter>pname</parameter> specifies which parameter
            should be queried. The value or values of the parameter to be queried is returned in the variable whose address
            is given in <parameter>values</parameter>.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORMS</constant>, the number
            of active subroutine variables in the stage is returned in <parameter>values</parameter>.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM_LOCATIONS</constant>,
            the number of active subroutine variable locations in the stage is returned in <parameter>values</parameter>.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINES</constant>,
            the number of active subroutines in the stage is returned in <parameter>values</parameter>.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM_MAX_LENGTH</constant>,
            the length of the longest subroutine uniform for the stage is returned in <parameter>values</parameter>.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_MAX_LENGTH</constant>,
            the length of the longest subroutine name for the stage is returned in <parameter>values</parameter>. The
            returned name length includes space for the null-terminator.
        </para>
        <para>
            If there is no shader present of type <parameter>shadertype</parameter>, the returned value will be consistent
            with a shader containing no subroutines or subroutine uniforms.

        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if <parameter>program</parameter> is not the name of an
            existing program object.
