<code class="function">glBindBufferBase</code> binds the buffer object <em class="parameter"><code>buffer</code></em>

to the binding point at index <em class="parameter"><code>index</code></em> of the array of targets specified

by <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em>. Each <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> 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 <a class="citerefentry" href="glBindBuffer"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBindBuffer</span></span></a>

or <a class="citerefentry" href="glMapBuffer"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glMapBuffer</span></span></a>. In addition to binding

<em class="parameter"><code>buffer</code></em> to the indexed buffer binding target, <code class="function">glBindBufferBase</code>

also binds <em class="parameter"><code>buffer</code></em> to the generic buffer binding point specified by <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em>.

</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="notes"></a><h2>Notes</h2><p>

Calling <code class="function">glBindBufferBase</code> is equivalent to calling

<a class="citerefentry" href="glBindBufferRange"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBindBufferRange</span></span></a> with <em class="parameter"><code>offset</code></em>

zero and <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> equal to the size of the buffer.

</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="errors"></a><h2>Errors</h2><p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_ENUM</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> is not

<code class="constant">GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER</code> or <code class="constant">GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER</code>.

</p><p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>index</code></em> is greater

than or equal to the number of <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em>-specific indexed binding points.

</p><p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>buffer</code></em> does

not have an associated data store, or if the size of that store is zero.
