extract(ReadableStream | String | Buffer[, getContextFunction) -> Continuable

Given a readable stream, string, or buffer, return a continuable that will trigger parsing. The continuable will call its callback with err (if any), and data, where data is comprised of {attributes:[GLSLLocation], uniforms:[GLSLLocation]}.

GLSLLocation

A GLSLLocation is just a plain object containing name (the appropriate name to pass to gl.getUniformLocation) and type (one of the primitive GLSL types).
