<para>
Binding points for active uniform blocks are assigned using <function>glUniformBlockBinding</function>. Each of a program's active uniform
blocks has a corresponding uniform buffer binding point. <parameter>program</parameter> is the name of a program object for which the command
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry> has been issued in the past.
</para>
<para>
If successful, <function>glUniformBlockBinding</function> specifies that <parameter>program</parameter> will use the data store of the
buffer object bound to the binding point <parameter>uniformBlockBinding</parameter> to extract the values of the uniforms in the
uniform block identified by <parameter>uniformBlockIndex</parameter>.
</para>
<para>
When a program object is linked or re-linked, the uniform buffer object binding point assigned to each of its active uniform blocks is reset to zero.
