        <para>
            <function>glFlushMappedBufferRange</function> indicates that modifications have been made to a range of a mapped buffer.
            The buffer must previously have been mapped with the <constant>GL_MAP_FLUSH_EXPLICIT_BIT</constant> flag. <parameter>offset</parameter>
            and <parameter>length</parameter> indicate the modified subrange of the mapping, in basic units. The specified subrange to flush
            is relative to the start of the currently mapped range of the buffer. <function>glFlushMappedBufferRange</function> may be called
            multiple times to indicate distinct subranges of the mapping which require flushing.

            The <constant>GL_QUERY_BUFFER</constant> target is available only if the GL version is 4.4 or greater.
