        <para><function>glUseProgram</function> installs the program
        object specified by <parameter>program</parameter> as part of
        current rendering state. One or more executables are created in
        a program object by successfully attaching shader objects to it
        with
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glAttachShader</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
        successfully compiling the shader objects with
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCompileShader</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
        and successfully linking the program object with
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
        </para>

        <para>A program object will contain an executable that will run
        on the vertex processor if it contains one or more shader
        objects of type <constant>GL_VERTEX_SHADER</constant> that have
        been successfully compiled and linked. A program object will contain an
        executable that will run on the geometry processor if it contains one or
        more shader objects of type <constant>GL_GEOMETRY_SHADER</constant> that
        have been successfully compiled and linked.
        Similarly, a program object will contain an executable that will run on the
        fragment processor if it contains one or more shader objects of type
        <constant>GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER</constant> that have been
        successfully compiled and linked.</para>

        <para>While a program object is in use, applications are free to
        modify attached shader objects, compile attached shader objects,
        attach additional shader objects, and detach or delete shader
        objects. None of these operations will affect the executables
        that are part of the current state. However, relinking the
        program object that is currently in use will install the program
        object as part of the current rendering state if the link
        operation was successful (see
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
        ). If the program object currently in use is relinked
        unsuccessfully, its link status will be set to
        <constant>GL_FALSE</constant>, but the executables and
        associated state will remain part of the current state until a
        subsequent call to <function>glUseProgram</function> removes it
        from use. After it is removed from use, it cannot be made part
        of current state until it has been successfully relinked.</para>

        <para>If <parameter>program</parameter> is zero, then the current rendering
        state refers to an <emphasis>invalid</emphasis> program object and the
        results of shader execution are undefined. However, this is not an error.</para>

        <para>If <parameter>program</parameter> does not
        contain shader objects of type <constant>GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER</constant>, an
        executable will be installed on the vertex, and possibly geometry processors,
        but the results of fragment shader execution will be undefined.</para>

    <refsect1 xml:id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
        <para>Like buffer and texture objects, the name space for
        program objects may be shared across a set of contexts, as long
        as the server sides of the contexts share the same address
        space. If the name space is shared across contexts, any attached
        objects and the data associated with those attached objects are
        shared as well.</para>

        <para>Applications are responsible for providing the
        synchronization across API calls when objects are accessed from
        different execution threads.</para>

        <para><constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if
        <parameter>program</parameter> is neither 0 nor a value
        generated by OpenGL.</para>

        <para><constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if
        <parameter>program</parameter> is not a program object.</para>

        <para><constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if
        <parameter>program</parameter> could not be made part of current
        state.</para>

        <para><constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if
        transform feedback mode is active.</para>
