NAME
glUnmapBuffer, glUnmapNamedBuffer - release the mapping of a buffer object's data store
into the client's address space
C SPECIFICATION
GLboolean glUnmapBuffer(GLenum target);
GLboolean glUnmapNamedBuffer(GLuint buffer);
PARAMETERS
target
Specifies the target to which the buffer object is bound for glUnmapBuffer, which must
be one of the buffer binding targets in the following table:

buffer
Specifies the name of the buffer object for glUnmapNamedBuffer.
DESCRIPTION
glUnmapBuffer and glUnmapNamedBuffer unmap (release) any mapping of a specified buffer
object into the client's address space (see glMapBufferRange() and glMapBuffer()).
If a mapping is not unmapped before the corresponding buffer object's data store is used
by the GL, an error will be generated by any GL command that attempts to dereference the
buffer object's data store, unless the buffer was successfully mapped with
GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT (see glMapBufferRange()). When a data store is unmapped, the mapped
pointer becomes invalid.
glUnmapBuffer returns GL_TRUE unless the data store contents have become corrupt during
the time the data store was mapped. This can occur for system-specific reasons that affect
the availability of graphics memory, such as screen mode changes. In such situations,
GL_FALSE is returned and the data store contents are undefined. An application must detect
this rare condition and reinitialize the data store.
A buffer object's mapped data store is automatically unmapped when the buffer object is
deleted or its data store is recreated with glBufferData()).
NOTES
If an error is generated, glUnmapBuffer returns GL_FALSE.
The GL_ATOMIC_COUNTER_BUFFER target is accepted only if the GL version is 4.2 or greater.
The GL_DISPATCH_INDIRECT_BUFFER and GL_SHADER_STORAGE_BUFFER targets are available only if
the GL version is 4.3 or greater.
The GL_QUERY_BUFFER target is available only if the GL version is 4.4 or greater.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated by glUnmapBuffer if target is not one of the buffer binding
targets listed above.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated by glUnmapBuffer if zero is bound to target.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated by glUnmapNamedBuffer if buffer is not the name of an
existing buffer object.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the buffer object is not in a mapped state.
ASSOCIATED GETS
glGetBufferParameter() with argument GL_BUFFER_MAPPED.
