            <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.
