            is the name of a vertex array object previously returned from a call to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGenVertexArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,

            If no vertex array object with name <parameter>array</parameter> exists, one is created when <parameter>array</parameter> is first bound. If the bind
            is successful no change is made to the state of the vertex array object, and any previous vertex array object binding is broken.
