<para>
<function>glClearBufferData</function> fills the entirety of a buffer object's
data store with data from client memory. 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 buffer object's
data store.
</para>
<para>
If <parameter>data</parameter> is NULL, then the buffer's data store
is filled with zeros.

<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>internalformat</parameter> is not a sized internal format.
</para>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if any part of the buffer's data store is
