            <function>glGetCompressedTexImage</function> returns the compressed texture image associated with <parameter>target</parameter> and <parameter>lod</parameter>
            into <parameter>img</parameter>.  <parameter>img</parameter> should be an array of
            <constant>GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_IMAGE_SIZE</constant> bytes.
            <parameter>target</parameter> specifies whether the desired texture image was one specified by
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexImage1D</refentrytitle></citerefentry> (<constant>GL_TEXTURE_1D</constant>),
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexImage2D</refentrytitle></citerefentry> (<constant>GL_TEXTURE_2D</constant> or any of <constant>GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_*</constant>), or

            <parameter>lod</parameter> specifies the level-of-detail number of the desired image.

            If a non-zero named buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER</constant> target 
            (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>) while a texture image is
            requested, <parameter>img</parameter> is treated as a byte offset into the buffer object's data store.
        </para>
        <para>
            To minimize errors, first verify that the texture is compressed by calling
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetTexLevelParameter</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with argument <constant>GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED</constant>.  If
            the texture is compressed, then determine the amount of memory required to
            store the compressed texture by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetTexLevelParameter</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with
            argument <constant>GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_IMAGE_SIZE</constant>.  Finally, retrieve the
            internal format of the texture by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetTexLevelParameter</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with
            argument <constant>GL_TEXTURE_INTERNAL_FORMAT</constant>.
            To store the texture for later use, associate the internal format and size
            with the retrieved texture image.  These data can be used by the respective
            texture or subtexture loading routine used for loading <parameter>target</parameter> textures.
