  40.                                  is unique only to a graphics hardware

  76.           Each hardware platform may optionally offer one or more
  77.           platform-specific control parameters.  Because these are
  78.           unique, these parameters are described in the documentation
  79.           accompanying the hardware.  Each parameter has a different
  80.           parameter block associated with it.  The constitution of the
  81.           ppppaaaarrrraaaammmmeeeetttteeeerrrrBBBBlllloooocccckkkk is defined by a structure provided by an
  82.           included file that accompanies the hardware platform.
  83.  
  84.           You may retrieve the value of the parameter by calling
  85.           XXXXSSSSGGGGIIIIvvvvccccQQQQuuuueeeerrrryyyyPPPPllllaaaattttffffoooorrrrmmmmPPPPaaaarrrraaaammmmeeeetttteeeerrrr which fills the parameter block
  86.           with the current values of the control parameter.
  87.  
  88.           Note that if you use platform-specific control parameters,
  89.           you are affecting a control used on only one platform.  The
  90.           control is not guaranteed to operate on any other platform
  91.           than the one on which the control parameter is designated.

  108.           In the following contrived example, the graphics hardware
  109.           platform called NewPlatform contains the following
  110.           definitions to describe a parameter control named IOCUS
  111.           whose type is integer.  The definitions might be contained
  112.           in a file named XSGIvcNewPlatform.h and might include:
  113.  
  114.           #define IOCUS_PARAMETER 5
  115.           #define IOCUS_MIN 0
  116.           #define IOCUS_MAX 32
