  35                     in the stencil planes.
  36                     Initially, the mask is all 1's.

  50             is the number of bits in the stencil buffer,

  52             Where a 1 appears in the mask,
  53             it's possible to write to the corresponding bit in the stencil buffer.
  54             Where a 0 appears,
  55             the corresponding bit is write-protected.
  56             Initially, all bits are enabled for writing.

  59             There can be two separate <parameter>mask</parameter> writemasks; one affects back-facing polygons, and the other
  60             affects front-facing polygons as well as other non-polygon primitives.
  61             <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glStencilMask</refentrytitle></citerefentry> sets both front
