Does glUseProgram alter VAO and/or VBO state?

Is the currently-installed shader program part of the VAO state and/or part of the VBO state? Or is it separate state that is not affected when VAO and VBO are switched?

According to these docs the glUseProgram function

Installs a program object as part of current rendering state.

In other words, how is "rendering state" is defined?

No, active shader is not a part of VAO nor VBO state.

By "rendering state" they seem to mean the global state.
