            <function>glGetUniformIndices</function> retrieves the indices of a number of uniforms within <parameter>program</parameter>.

        <para>
            <parameter>program</parameter> must be the name of a program object for which the command

            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry> must have succeeded. The link could have failed because the number
            of active uniforms exceeded the limit.

            <parameter>uniformNames</parameter> contains a list of <parameter>uniformCount</parameter> name strings identifying the uniform names to be

            be written to the corresponding element of <parameter>uniformIndices</parameter>. If a string in <parameter>uniformNames</parameter> is not
            the name of an active uniform, the special value <constant>GL_INVALID_INDEX</constant> will be written to the corresponding element of
            <parameter>uniformIndices</parameter>.
