glGetBufferPointerv: return the pointer to a mapped buffer object's data store

Function Definition

 void glGetBufferPointerv(GLenum target​, GLenum pname​, GLvoid ** params​);
target
Specifies the target buffer object. The symbolic constant must be GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_COPY_READ_BUFFER, GL_COPY_WRITE_BUFFER, GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER, GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER, GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER, or GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER.
pname
Specifies the pointer to be returned. The symbolic constant must be GL_BUFFER_MAP_POINTER.
params
Returns the pointer value specified by pname​.

Description

glGetBufferPointerv returns pointer information. pname​ is a symbolic constant indicating the pointer to be returned, which must be GL_BUFFER_MAP_POINTER, the pointer to which the buffer object's data store is mapped. If the data store is not currently mapped, NULL is returned. params​ is a pointer to a location in which to place the returned pointer value.

Notes

If an error is generated, no change is made to the contents of params​.

The initial value for the pointer is NULL.

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target​ or pname​ is not an accepted value.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the reserved buffer object name 0 is bound to target​.
