Documentation

The reference pages (aka man pages) include complete descriptions of all OpenGL, GLU, and GLX entry points. They cover in detail how to use the commands, all of the parameters you can pass in, and all of the error conditions to avoid.

The GLSL Quick Reference Guide is a one-page PDF providing an instant reference of GLSL's data types, built-in variables and functions.

The specifications are useful as the most authoratative documents about how OpenGL is intended to work. They are also the most difficult to read, so you may find the reference pages combined with tutorials to be a better choice. Note that the specifications are currently hosted outside of the SDK itself.

The extension registry, also outside of the SDK, contains extension headers and specifications describing optional features of OpenGL. These documents are written as supplements to the core OpenGL specifications above.
