+ <function>glBindProgramPipeline</function> binds a program pipeline object to the current
+ context. <parameter>pipeline</parameter> must be a name previously returned from a call
+ to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGenProgramPipelines</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. If
+ no program pipeline exists with name <parameter>pipeline</parameter> then a new pipeline object
+ is created with that name and initialized to the default state vector.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When a program pipeline object is bound using <function>glBindProgramPipeline</function>, any previous
+ binding is broken and is replaced with a binding to the specified pipeline object. If <parameter>pipeline</parameter>
+ is zero, the previous binding is broken and is not replaced, leaving no pipeline object bound.
+ If no current program object has been established by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glUseProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
+ the program objects used for each stage and for uniform updates are taken from the bound program
+ pipeline object, if any. If there is a current program object established by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glUseProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
+ the bound program pipeline object has no effect on rendering or uniform updates. When a bound program
+ pipeline object is used for rendering, individual shader executables are taken from its program objects.
