NAME
       glShaderBinary - load pre-compiled shader binaries

C SPECIFICATION
       void glShaderBinary(GLsizei count, const GLuint *shaders, GLenum binaryFormat, const void *binary, GLsizei length);

PARAMETERS
       count
	   Specifies the number of shader object handles contained in shaders.

       shaders
	   Specifies the address of an array of shader handles into which to load pre-compiled shader binaries.

       binaryFormat
	   Specifies the format of the shader binaries contained in binary.

       binary
	   Specifies the address of an array of bytes containing pre-compiled binary shader code.

       length
	   Specifies the length of the array whose address is given in binary.

DESCRIPTION
       glShaderBinary loads pre-compiled shader binary code into the count shader objects whose handles are given in shaders.  binary points to
       length bytes of binary shader code stored in client memory.  binaryFormat specifies the format of the pre-compiled code.

       The binary image contained in binary will be decoded according to the extension specification defining the specified binaryFormat token.
       OpenGL does not define any specific binary formats, but it does provide a mechanism to obtain token vaues for such formats provided by such
       extensions.

       Depending on the types of the shader objects in shaders, glShaderBinary will individually load binary vertex or fragment shaders, or load
       an executable binary that contains an optimized pair of vertex and fragment shaders stored in the same binary.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if more than one of the handles in shaders refers to the same shader object.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if binaryFormat is not an accepted value.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if the data pointed to by binary does not match the format specified by binaryFormat.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet() with parameter GL_NUM_SHADER_BINARY_FORMATS.

       glGet() with parameter GL_SHADER_BINARY_FORMATS.
