            <function>glGetSubroutineUniformLocation</function> returns the location of the subroutine uniform variable
            <parameter>name</parameter> in the shader stage of type <parameter>shadertype</parameter> attached to

        <para>
            If <parameter>name</parameter> is not the name of a subroutine uniform in the shader stage, -1
            is returned, but no error is generated. If <parameter>name</parameter> is the name of a subroutine uniform in the shader stage,
            a value between zero and the value of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_LOCATIONS</constant> minus one will be returned.
            Subroutine locations are assigned using consecutive integers in the range from zero to the value
            of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_LOCATIONS</constant> minus one for the shader stage.  For active subroutine uniforms
            declared as arrays, the declared array elements are assigned consecutive locations.
