34 Specifies a bit mask to enable and disable the writing of individual bits
35 in the color index buffers.
36 Initially, the mask is all 1's.

50 is the number of bits in a color index buffer,

52 Where a 1 (one) appears in the mask,
53 it's possible to write to the corresponding bit in the color index
54 buffer (or buffers).
55 Where a 0 (zero) appears,
56 the corresponding bit is write-protected.
57 </para>
58 <para>
59 This mask is used only in color index mode,
60 and it affects only the buffers currently selected for writing
61 (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
62 Initially, all bits are enabled for writing.
