buffer
Specifies the name of the buffer object for glClearNamedBufferSubData.
internalformat
The internal format with which the data will be stored in the buffer object.
offset
The offset in basic machine units into the buffer object's data store at which to
start filling.
size
The size in basic machine units of the range of the data store to fill.
format
The format of the data in memory addressed by data.
type
The type of the data in memory addressed by data.
data
The address of a memory location storing the data to be replicated into the buffer's
data store.
DESCRIPTION
glClearBufferSubData and glClearNamedBufferSubData fill a specified region of a buffer
object's data store with data from client memory.
offset and size specify the extent of the region within the data store of the buffer
object to fill with data. Data, initially supplied in a format specified by format in data
type type is read from the memory address given by data and converted into the internal
representation given by internalformat, which must be one of the following sized internal
formats:

This converted data is then replicated throughout the specified region of the buffer
object's data store. If data is NULL, then the subrange of the buffer's data store is
filled with zeros.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated by glClearBufferSubData if target is not one of the generic
buffer binding targets.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated by glClearBufferSubData if no buffer is bound to target.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated by glClearNamedBufferSubData if buffer is not the name
of an existing buffer object.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if internalformat is not one of the valid sized internal
formats listed in the table above.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if offset or range are not multiples of the number of basic
machine units per-element for the internal format specified by internalformat. This value
may be computed by multiplying the number of components for internalformat from the table
by the size of the base type from the table.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if offset or size is negative, or if $offset + size$ is
greater than the value of GL_BUFFER_SIZE for the buffer object.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if any part of the specified range of the buffer object
is mapped with glMapBufferRange() or glMapBuffer(), unless it was mapped with the
GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT bit set in the glMapBufferRange access flags.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if format is not a valid format, or type is not a valid
type.
