From https://www.khronos.org/egl :

"EGL™ is an interface between Khronos rendering APIs such as OpenGL ES or OpenVG and the underlying native platform window system. It handles graphics context management, surface/buffer binding, and rendering synchronization and enables high-performance, accelerated, mixed-mode 2D and 3D rendering using other Khronos APIs. EGL also provides interop capability between Khronos to enable efficient transfer of data between APIs – for example between a video subsystem running OpenMAX AL and a GPU running OpenGL ES."

eglinfo

There are many variants of eglinfo.c floating around. We use the one discussed in the forum https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=36318 and available on pastebin.
