  26             indicating the pointer to be returned, which must be <code class="constant">GL_BUFFER_MAP_POINTER</code>, the pointer
  27             to which the buffer object's data store is mapped.  If the data store is not currently mapped, <code class="constant">NULL</code> is returned.
  28             <em class="parameter"><code>params</code></em> is a pointer to a location in which to place the returned pointer value.
