target	Specifies the target buffer object. The symbolic constant must be GL_ARRAY_BUFFER , GL_ATOMIC_COUNTER_BUFFER , GL_COPY_READ_BUFFER , GL_COPY_WRITE_BUFFER , GL_DRAW_INDIRECT_BUFFER , GL_DISPATCH_INDIRECT_BUFFER , GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER , GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER , GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER , GL_QUERY_BUFFER , GL_SHADER_STORAGE_BUFFER , GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER , GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER , or GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER .
size	Specifies the size in bytes of the buffer object's new data store.
data	Specifies a pointer to data that will be copied into the data store for initialization, or NULL if no data is to be copied.
flags	Specifies the intended usage of the buffer's data store. Must be a bitwise combination of the following flags. GL_DYNAMIC_STORAGE_BIT , GL_MAP_READ_BIT GL_MAP_WRITE_BIT , GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT , GL_MAP_COHERENT_BIT , and GL_CLIENT_STORAGE_BIT .
