public interface ATI_map_object_buffer {

	/**
	 * glMapObjectBufferATI maps an ATI vertex array object to a ByteBuffer. The old_buffer argument can be null,
	 * in which case a new ByteBuffer will be created, pointing to the returned memory. If old_buffer is non-null,
	 * it will be returned if it points to the same mapped memory and has the same capacity as the vertex array object,
	 * otherwise a new ByteBuffer is created. That way, an application will normally use glMapObjectBufferATI like this:
	 * <p/>
	 * ByteBuffer mapped_buffer; mapped_buffer = glMapObjectBufferATI(..., null); ... // Another map on the same buffer mapped_buffer = glMapObjectBufferATI(..., mapped_buffer);
	 * <p/>
	 * Only ByteBuffers returned from this method are to be passed as the old_buffer argument. User-created ByteBuffers cannot be reused.
	 * <p/>
	 * The version of this method without an explicit length argument calls glGetObjectBufferATI internally to
	 * retrieve the current vertex array object size, which may cause a pipeline flush and reduce application performance.
	 * <p/>
	 * The version of this method with an explicit length argument is a fast alternative to the one without. No GL call
	 * is made to retrieve the vertex array object size, so the user is responsible for tracking and using the appropriate length.<br>
	 * Security warning: The length argument should match the vertex array object size. Reading from or writing to outside
	 * the memory region that corresponds to the mapped vertex array object will cause native crashes.
	 *
	 * @param length        the length of the mapped memory in bytes.
	 * @param old_buffer    A ByteBuffer. If this argument points to the same address and has the same capacity as the new mapping, it will be returned and no new buffer will be created.
	 *
	 * @return A ByteBuffer representing the mapped buffer memory.
