<para>
<function>glCopyBufferSubData</function> copies part of the data store attached to <parameter>readtarget</parameter> to the
data store attached to <parameter>writetarget</parameter>. The number of basic machine units indicated by <parameter>size</parameter>
is copied from the source, at offset <parameter>readoffset</parameter> to the destination at <parameter>writeoffset</parameter>,
also in basic machine units.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>readtarget</parameter> and <parameter>writetarget</parameter> must be <constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant>,
<constant>GL_COPY_READ_BUFFER</constant>, <constant>GL_COPY_WRITE_BUFFER</constant>, <constant>GL_DRAW_INDIRECT_BUFFER</constant>,
<constant>GL_DISPATCH_INDIRECT_BUFFER</constant>, <constant>GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant>,
<constant>GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER</constant>, <constant>GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER</constant>, <constant>GL_QUERY_BUFFER</constant>,
<constant>GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER</constant>,
<constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER</constant> or <constant>GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER</constant>. Any of these targets may be used,
although the targets <constant>GL_COPY_READ_BUFFER</constant> and <constant>GL_COPY_WRITE_BUFFER</constant> are provided
specifically to allow copies between buffers without disturbing other GL state.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>readoffset</parameter>, <parameter>writeoffset</parameter> and <parameter>size</parameter> must all be greater than or equal to
zero. Furthermore, <parameter>readoffset</parameter> + <parameter>size</parameter> must not exceeed the size of the buffer
object bound to <parameter>readtarget</parameter>, and <parameter>readoffset</parameter> + <parameter>size</parameter> must not exceeed the
size of the buffer bound to <parameter>writetarget</parameter>. If the same buffer object is bound to both <parameter>readtarget</parameter>
and <parameter>writetarget</parameter>, then the ranges specified by <parameter>readoffset</parameter>, <parameter>writeoffset</parameter>
and <parameter>size</parameter> must not overlap.

exceeds the size of the buffer object bound to <parameter>writetarget</parameter>.

<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if the same buffer object is bound to both <parameter>readtarget</parameter>

<parameter>size</parameter>) and [<parameter>writeoffset</parameter>, <parameter>writeoffset</parameter> + <parameter>size</parameter>)
overlap.

<constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if zero is bound to <parameter>readtarget</parameter> or <parameter>writetarget</parameter>.
