            <code class="function">glBindProgramPipeline</code> binds a program pipeline object to the current
            context. <em class="parameter"><code>pipeline</code></em> must be a name previously returned from a call
            to <a href="glGenProgramPipelines.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGenProgramPipelines</span></span></a>. If
            no program pipeline exists with name <em class="parameter"><code>pipeline</code></em> then a new pipeline object
            is created with that name and initialized to the default state vector.
        </p><p>
            When a program pipeline object is bound using <code class="function">glBindProgramPipeline</code>, any previous
            binding is broken and is replaced with a binding to the specified pipeline object. If <em class="parameter"><code>pipeline</code></em>
            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 <a href="glUseProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glUseProgram</span></span></a>,
            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 <a href="glUseProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glUseProgram</span></span></a>,
            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.
