Incomplete description of pixels argument if using unpack buffer object
book, page 233, 261, 264, 266, 267, 268 and 269. for the functions glTexImage_, glTexSubImage_, glCompressedTexImage_, glCompressedTexSubImage_, These descriptions of "pixels" are incomplete with regard to unpack buffer object. As described later in the book this argument can be an offset. I think that these descriptions should mention their use with unpack buffer object.
Also page 317.
This fact that the pixels argument can be an offset with unpack buffer objects is described on page 277. It is a fair criticism that perhaps it should have been included in the API descriptions themselves. I will label this an "enhancement" rather than "errata" since I don't believe it is strictly a mistake and I do agree the chapter would be strengthened by mentioning unpack buffer objects in the API descriptions.
