  #include <Cg/cg.h>

  CGtechnique cgGetNamedTechnique( CGeffect effect, const char * name );

PARAMETERS

effect

DESCRIPTION

The techniques of an effect can be retrieved directly by name using the cgGetNamedTechnique function. The names of the techniques in a effect can be discovered by iterating through the effect's techniques (see the "cgGetFirstTechnique" document and the "cgGetNextTechnique" document), calling cgGetTechniqueName for each one in turn.

RETURN VALUES

Returns the named technique from the effect. If the effect has no technique corresponding to name, NULL is returned.

ERRORS

CG_INVALID_EFFECT_HANDLE_ERROR is generated if effect does not refer to a valid effect.
