            On GLX, this redirects to
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle><function>glXGetProcAddress</function></refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

            On EGL, this redirects to
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle><function>eglGetProcAddress</function></refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

            On CGL, this function returns <constant>NULL</constant>

            because there exists no <function>CGLGetProcAdress()</function>.
          </para>

          <para>
            Some aspects of this function's behavior is platform-specific and non-intuitive.

            For example,

            <itemizedlist>
              <listitem>
                <para>
                  If the queried function is not available,

                  <function>waffle_get_proc_address()</function> may return a non-null pointer.
                </para>
              </listitem>

              <listitem>
                <para>
                  If the queried function is statically exposed by the OpenGL library of a given API,

                  then <function>waffle_get_proc_address()</function> may return a <constant>NULL</constant>.
                </para>
              </listitem>

            For details on this function's behavior,
