        <para>
            <function>glGetActiveSubroutineUniformName</function> retrieves the name of an active shader subroutine uniform.
            <parameter>program</parameter> contains the name of the program containing the uniform. <parameter>shadertype</parameter>
            specifies the stage for which which the uniform location, given by <parameter>index</parameter>, is valid. <parameter>index</parameter>
            must be between zero and the value of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORMS</constant> minus one for the
            shader stage.
        </para>
        <para>
            The uniform name is returned as a null-terminated string in <parameter>name</parameter>. The actual number of characters
            written into <parameter>name</parameter>, excluding the null terminator is returned in <parameter>length</parameter>.
            If <parameter>length</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, no length is returned. The maximum number of characters
            that may be written into <parameter>name</parameter>, including the null terminator, is specified by <parameter>bufsize</parameter>.
            The length of the longest subroutine uniform name in <parameter>program</parameter> and <parameter>shadertype</parameter> is given
            by the value of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINE_UNIFORM_MAX_LENGTH</constant>, which can be queried with
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetProgramStage</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.

        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if <parameter>index</parameter> is greater than or equal to
            the value of <constant>GL_ACTIVE_SUBROUTINES</constant>.

        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if <parameter>program</parameter> is not the name of an
