15 <code class="function">glGetProgramBinary</code> returns a binary representation of the compiled
16 and linked executable for <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> into the array of bytes whose
17 address is specified in <em class="parameter"><code>binary</code></em>. The maximum number of bytes that
18 may be written into <em class="parameter"><code>binary</code></em> is specified by <em class="parameter"><code>bufSize</code></em>.
19 If the program binary is greater in size than <em class="parameter"><code>bufSize</code></em> bytes,
20 then an error is generated, otherwise the actual number of bytes written into <em class="parameter"><code>binary</code></em>
21 is returned in the variable whose address is given by <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em>. If
22 <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em> is <code class="constant">NULL</code>, then no length is returned.
23 </p><p>
24 The format of the program binary written into <em class="parameter"><code>binary</code></em> is returned in
25 the variable whose address is given by <em class="parameter"><code>binaryFormat</code></em>, and may be implementation dependent. The binary produced
26 by the GL may subsequently be returned to the GL by calling <a href="glProgramBinary.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glProgramBinary</span></span></a>,
27 with <em class="parameter"><code>binaryFormat</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em> set to the values
28 returned by <code class="function">glGetProgramBinary</code>, and passing the returned binary data
29 in the <em class="parameter"><code>binary</code></em> parameter.

33 </p><p>
34 <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if <code class="constant">GL_LINK_STATUS</code> for the
