        <para>
            <function>glBlitFramebuffer</function> transfers a rectangle of pixel values from one region of the read framebuffer to another region in
            the draw framebuffer. <parameter>mask</parameter> is the bitwise OR of a number of values indicating which buffers are
            to be copied. The values are <constant>GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT</constant>, <constant>GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT</constant>, and
            <constant>GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT</constant>. The pixels corresponding to these buffers are copied from the source rectangle bounded by the
            locations (<parameter>srcX0</parameter>; <parameter>srcY0</parameter>) and (<parameter>srcX1</parameter>; <parameter>srcY1</parameter>)
            to the destination rectangle bounded by the locations (<parameter>dstX0</parameter>; <parameter>dstY0</parameter>) and
            (<parameter>dstX1</parameter>; <parameter>dstY1</parameter>). The lower bounds of the rectangle are inclusive, while the upper
            bounds are exclusive.
        </para>
        <para>
            The actual region taken from the read framebuffer is limited to the intersection of the source buffers being transferred, which may
            include the color buffer selected by the read buffer, the depth buffer, and/or the stencil buffer depending on mask. The actual region
            written to the draw framebuffer is limited to the intersection of the destination buffers being written, which may include multiple draw
            buffers, the depth buffer, and/or the stencil buffer depending on mask. Whether or not the source or destination regions are altered due
            to these limits, the scaling and offset applied to pixels being transferred is performed as though no such limits were present.
        </para>
        <para>
            If the sizes of the source and destination rectangles are not equal, <parameter>filter</parameter> specifies the interpolation method that
            will be applied to resize the source image , and must be <constant>GL_NEAREST</constant> or <constant>GL_LINEAR</constant>.
            <constant>GL_LINEAR</constant> is only a valid interpolation method for the color buffer. If <parameter>filter</parameter> is not
            <constant>GL_NEAREST</constant> and <parameter>mask</parameter> includes <constant>GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT</constant> or
            <constant>GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT</constant>, no data is transferred and a <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> error is generated.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <parameter>filter</parameter> is <constant>GL_LINEAR</constant> and the source rectangle would require sampling outside the bounds of
            the source framebuffer, values are read as if the <constant>GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE</constant> texture wrapping mode were applied.
        </para>
        <para>
            When the color buffer is transferred, values are taken from the read buffer of the read framebuffer and written to each of the draw
            buffers of the draw framebuffer.
        </para>
        <para>
            If the source and destination rectangles overlap or are the same, and the read and draw buffers are the same, the result of the operation
            is undefined.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <parameter>SAMPLE_BUFFERS</parameter> for the read framebuffer is greater than zero and <parameter>SAMPLE_BUFFERS</parameter> for the
            draw framebuffer is zero, the samples corresponding to each pixel location in the source are converted to a single sample before being
            written to the destination.
