        <para>
            <function>glInvalidateBufferSubData</function> invalidates all or part of the
            content of the data store of a buffer object. After invalidation, the content
            of the specified range of the buffer's data store becomes undefined. The
            start of the range is given by <parameter>offset</parameter> and its size
            is given by <parameter>length</parameter>, both measured in basic machine units.
