            <function>glClearBufferSubData</function> fills a specified region of a buffer object's
            data store with data from client memory. <parameter>offset</parameter> and <parameter>size</parameter>
            demark the extent of the region within the data store of the buffer object bound to
            <parameter>target</parameter> to fill with data. Data, initially supplied in a format
            specified by <parameter>format</parameter> in data type <parameter>type</parameter> is
            read from the memory address given by <parameter>data</parameter> and converted into
            the internal representation given by <parameter>internalforamt</parameter>.
            This converted data is then replicated throughout the specified region of the buffer object's
            data store.

        <para>
            If <parameter>data</parameter> is NULL, then the subrange of the buffer's data store
            is filled with zeros.
