The WebGL2RenderingContext.getSyncParameter() method of the WebGL 2 API returns parameter information of a WebGLSync object.
Syntax
any gl.getSyncParameter(sync, pname);
Parameters
- sync
- A
WebGLSyncobject. pname- A
GLenumspecifying which information to return. Possible values:gl.OBJECT_TYPE: Returns aGLenumindicating the type of the sync object (alwaysgl.SYNC_FENCE).gl.SYNC_STATUS: Returns aGLenumindicating the status of the sync object (gl.SIGNALEDorgl.UNSIGNALED).gl.SYNC_CONDITION: Returns aGLenumindicating the sync objects' condition (alwaysgl.SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE).gl.SYNC_FLAGS: Returns aGLenumindicating the flags with which the sync object was created (always 0 as no flags are supported).
Return value
Depends on the pname parameter, either a GLenum or a GLbitfield.
Examples
var sync = gl.fenceSync(gl.SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE, 0); gl.getSyncParameter(sync, gl.SYNC_STATUS);
