            <function>glGetBufferSubData</function> returns some or all of the data from the buffer object currently 
            bound to <parameter>target</parameter>. Data starting at byte offset <parameter>offset</parameter> and
            extending for <parameter>size</parameter> bytes is copied from the data store to the memory pointed to by
            <parameter>data</parameter>. An error is thrown if the buffer object is currently mapped, or if
            <parameter>offset</parameter> and <parameter>size</parameter> together define a range beyond the bounds 
            of the buffer object's data store.
