<para>
<function>glGetProgramBinary</function> returns a binary representation of the compiled
and linked executable for <parameter>program</parameter> into the array of bytes whose
address is specified in <parameter>binary</parameter>. The maximum number of bytes that
may be written into <parameter>binary</parameter> is specified by <parameter>bufSize</parameter>.
If the program binary is greater in size than <parameter>bufSize</parameter> bytes,
then an error is generated, otherwise the actual number of bytes written into <parameter>binary</parameter>
is returned in the variable whose address is given by <parameter>length</parameter>. If
<parameter>length</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, then no length is returned.
</para>
<para>
The format of the program binary written into <parameter>binary</parameter> is returned in
the variable whose address is given by <parameter>binaryFormat</parameter>, and may be implementation dependent. The binary produced
by the GL may subsequently be returned to the GL by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glProgramBinary</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
with <parameter>binaryFormat</parameter> and <parameter>length</parameter> set to the values
returned by <function>glGetProgramBinary</function>, and passing the returned binary data
in the <parameter>binary</parameter> parameter.
