cl_int clGetPlatformIDs(cl_uint num_entries, cl_platform_id *platforms, cl_uint *num_platforms);

PARAMETERS

num_entries

The number of cl_platform_id entries that can be added to platforms. If platforms is not NULL, the num_entries must be greater than zero.

platforms

Returns a list of OpenCL platforms found. The cl_platform_id values returned in platforms can be used to identify a specific OpenCL platform. If platforms argument is NULL, this argument is ignored. The number of OpenCL platforms returned is the mininum of the value specified by num_entries or the number of OpenCL platforms available.

num_platforms

Returns the number of OpenCL platforms available. If num_platforms is NULL, this argument is ignored.

ERRORS

Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise it returns CL_INVALID_VALUE if num_entries is equal to zero and platforms is not NULL, or if both num_platforms and platforms are NULL.

Returns CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
