Hi all.  
Do GLFW provide multiplatform interface to Pbuffer ?  
When not, then how do i get current Display\* pointer for glXCreatePbuffer and window handler for wglCreatePbuffer ? Is it possible to get those OS specific things from GLFW ?

Right now, the answer to both of your questions is no. In the future, I hope we’ll be able to say yes to the first one.
