return parameters of a buffer object
C Specification
void glGetBufferParameteriv
GLenum target
GLenum value
GLint * data
Parameters
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.
value
Specifies the symbolic name of a buffer object parameter.
Accepted values are GL_BUFFER_ACCESS, GL_BUFFER_MAPPED,
GL_BUFFER_SIZE, or GL_BUFFER_USAGE.
data
Returns the requested parameter.

glGetBufferParameteriv returns in data a selected parameter of the buffer object
specified by target.
value names a specific buffer object parameter, as follows:
GL_BUFFER_ACCESS
params returns the access policy set while mapping the buffer object.
The initial value is GL_READ_WRITE.
GL_BUFFER_MAPPED
params returns a flag indicating whether the buffer object is currently
mapped. The initial value is GL_FALSE.
GL_BUFFER_SIZE
params returns the size of the buffer object, measured in bytes.
The initial value is 0.
GL_BUFFER_USAGE
params returns the buffer object's usage pattern. The initial value is
GL_STATIC_DRAW.
