<para>
Specifies a bit mask to enable and disable writing of individual bits
in the stencil planes.
Initially, the mask is all 1's.

<function>glStencilMask</function> controls the writing of individual bits in the stencil planes.
The least significant

where
<inlineequation><mml:math><mml:mi mathvariant="italic">n</mml:mi></mml:math></inlineequation>
is the number of bits in the stencil buffer,
specify a mask.
Where a 1 appears in the mask,
it's possible to write to the corresponding bit in the stencil buffer.
Where a 0 appears,
the corresponding bit is write-protected.
Initially, all bits are enabled for writing.
</para>
<para>
There can be two separate <parameter>mask</parameter> writemasks; one affects back-facing polygons, and the other
affects front-facing polygons as well as other non-polygon primitives.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glStencilMask</refentrytitle></citerefentry> sets both front
and back stencil writemasks to the same values. Use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glStencilMaskSeparate</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
to set front and back stencil writemasks to different values.
