17 Where a 1 appears in the mask,
18 it's possible to write to the corresponding bit in the stencil buffer.
19 Where a 0 appears,
20 the corresponding bit is write-protected.
21 Initially, all bits are enabled for writing.

23 There can be two separate <em class="parameter"><code>mask</code></em> writemasks; one affects back-facing polygons, and the other
24 affects front-facing polygons as well as other non-polygon primitives.
25 <a href="glStencilMask.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glStencilMask</span></span></a> sets both front

27 to set front and back stencil writemasks to different values.
