<para>
<function>glBindBufferBase</function> binds the buffer object <parameter>buffer</parameter>
to the binding point at index <parameter>index</parameter> of the array of targets specified
by <parameter>target</parameter>. Each <parameter>target</parameter> represents an indexed
array of buffer binding points, as well as a single general binding point that can be used by
other buffer manipulation functions such as <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMapBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. In addition to binding
<parameter>buffer</parameter> to the indexed buffer binding target, <function>glBindBufferBase</function>
also binds <parameter>buffer</parameter> to the generic buffer binding point specified by <parameter>target</parameter>.
</para>

<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
<function>glBindBufferBase</function> is available only if the GL version is 3.0 or greater.
</para>
<para>
Calling <function>glBindBufferBase</function> is equivalent to calling
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBufferRange</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>offset</parameter>
zero and <parameter>size</parameter> equal to the size of the buffer.
</para>

<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>target</parameter> is not
<constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER</constant> or <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER</constant>.
</para>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if <parameter>index</parameter> is greater
than or equal to the number of <parameter>target</parameter>-specific indexed binding points.
