            <function>glBindBuffersBase</function> binds a set of <parameter>count</parameter> buffer objects whose names
            are given in the array <parameter>buffers</parameter> to the <parameter>count</parameter> consecutive binding
            points starting from index <parameter>index</parameter> of the array of targets specified
            by <parameter>target</parameter>. If <parameter>buffers</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant> then
            <function>glBindBuffersBase</function> unbinds any buffers that are currently bound to the referenced binding points.
            Assuming no errors are generated, it is equivalent to the following
            pseudo-code, which calls <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBufferBase</refentrytitle></citerefentry>:
