What does the GL_ARRAY_BUFFER target mean in glBindBuffer?

Question

I was confused about the VBO,

glGenBuffers(1, &positionBufferObject);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, positionBufferObject);

Besides GL_ARRA

Answer 1

However, the Opengl manual doesn't mention what these targets mean.

OpenGL 2.1 spec, page 38, section 2.9.1: "Vertex Arrays In Buffer Objects"

Does this mean the targets (like GL_ARRAY_BUFFER) are addresses?

Nope, they're just unsigned ints used like enums.
