            <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
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexImage3D</refentrytitle></citerefentry> (<constant>GL_TEXTURE_3D</constant>).
            <parameter>lod</parameter> specifies the level-of-detail number of the desired image.

        <para>
            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.

            <constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if <parameter>lod</parameter> is less than zero or greater
            than the maximum number of LODs permitted by the implementation.
        </para>
        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if <function>glGetCompressedTexImage</function> is used to retrieve a
            texture that is in an uncompressed internal format.
        </para>
        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if a non-zero buffer object name is bound to the
            <constant>GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER</constant> target and the buffer object's data store is currently mapped.
        </para>
        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if a non-zero buffer object name is bound to the
            <constant>GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER</constant> target and the data would be packed to the buffer 
            object such that the memory writes required would exceed the data store size.
