        <para>
            <function>eglGetError</function> returns the error of the last
            called <acronym>EGL</acronym> function in the current thread.

        <para>
            When an EGL function could potentially generate several
            different errors (for example, when passed both a bad attribute
            name, and a bad attribute value for a legal attribute name), the
            implementation may choose to generate any one of the applicable
            errors.
