GLGETPROGRAMBINARY(3G)						  [FIXME: manual]					    GLGETPROGRAMBINARY(3G)

NAME

       glGetProgramBinary - return a binary representation of a program object's compiled and linked executable source

C SPECIFICATION

       void glGetProgramBinary(GLuint program, GLsizei bufsize, GLsizei *length, GLenum *binaryFormat, void *binary);

PARAMETERS

       program
	   Specifies the name of a program object whose binary representation to retrieve.

       bufSize
	   Specifies the size of the buffer whose address is given by binary.

       length
	   Specifies the address of a variable to receive the number of bytes written into binary.

       binaryFormat
	   Specifies the address of a variable to receive a token indicating the format of the binary data returned by the GL.

       binary
	   Specifies the address an array into which the GL will return program's binary representation.

DESCRIPTION

       glGetProgramBinary returns a binary representation of the compiled and linked executable for program into the array of bytes whose address
       is specified in binary. The maximum number of bytes that may be written into binary is specified by bufSize. If the program binary is
       greater in size than bufSize bytes, then an error is generated, otherwise the actual number of bytes written into binary is returned in the
       variable whose address is given by length. If length is NULL, then no length is returned.

       The format of the program binary written into binary is returned in the variable whose address is given by binaryFormat, and may be
       implementation dependent. The binary produced by the GL may subsequently be returned to the GL by calling glProgramBinary(), with
       binaryFormat and length set to the values returned by glGetProgramBinary, and passing the returned binary data in the binary parameter.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if bufSize is less than the size of GL_PROGRAM_BINARY_LENGTH for program.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if GL_LINK_STATUS for the program object is false.

ASSOCIATED GETS

       glGetProgram() with argument GL_PROGRAM_BINARY_LENGTH

NAME

       glProgramParameter - specify a parameter for a program object

C SPECIFICATION

       void glProgramParameteri(GLuint program, GLenum pname, GLint value);

PARAMETERS

       program
	   Specifies the name of a program object whose parameter to modify.

       pname
	   Specifies the name of the parameter to modify.

       value
	   Specifies the new value of the parameter specified by pname for program.

DESCRIPTION

       glProgramParameter specifies a new value for the parameter nameed by pname for the program object program.

       If pname is GL_PROGRAM_BINARY_RETRIEVABLE_HINT, value should be GL_FALSE or GL_TRUE to indicate to the implementation the intention of the
       application to retrieve the program's binary representation with glGetProgramBinary(). The implementation may use this information to store
       information that may be useful for a future query of the program's binary. It is recommended to set GL_PROGRAM_BINARY_RETRIEVABLE_HINT for
       the program to GL_TRUE before calling glLinkProgram(), and using the program at run-time if the binary is to be retrieved later.

       If pname is GL_PROGRAM_SEPARABLE, value must be GL_TRUE or GL_FALSE and indicates whether program can be bound to individual pipeline
       stages via glUseProgramStages(). A program's GL_PROGRAM_SEPARABLE parameter must be set to GL_TRUEbeforeglLinkProgram() is called in order
       for it to be usable with a program pipeline object. The initial state of GL_PROGRAM_SEPARABLE is GL_FALSE.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program is not the name of an existing program object.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not one of the accepted values.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if value is not a valid value for the parameter named by pname.

ASSOCIATED GETS

       glGetProgram().
