        <para>
            <function>glInvalidateFramebuffer</function> invalidates the content
            of a specified set of attachments of a framebuffer. The framebuffer
            whose content to invalidate is indicated by setting <parameter>target</parameter>
            to the target to which it is bound. <parameter>target</parameter> may be
            <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER</constant>, <constant>GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER</constant> or
            <constant>GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER</constant>. <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER</constant>
            is treated as if it were <constant>GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER</constant>.
        </para>
        <para>
            The set of attachments whose content to invalidate are specified in an array whose address is given
            by <parameter>attachments</parameter> and which contains <parameter>numAttachments</parameter>
            elements. The elements of <parameter>attachments</parameter> must be
            <constant>GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT</constant>, <constant>GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</constant>
            <constant>GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</constant>, or <constant>GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT<emphasis>i</emphasis></constant>,
            where <emphasis>i</emphasis> is between zero and the value of <constant>GL_MAX_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENTS</constant> minus one.
            Furthermore, if the default framebuffer is bound to <parameter>target</parameter>, then
            <parameter>attachments</parameter> may contain <constant>GL_FRONT_LEFT</constant>,
            <constant>GL_FRONT_RIGHT</constant>, <constant>GL_BACK_LEFT</constant>, <constant>GL_BACK_RIGHT</constant>,
            <constant>GL_AUX<emphasis>i</emphasis></constant>, <constant>GL_ACCUM</constant>,
            <constant>GL_COLOR</constant>, <constant>GL_DEPTH</constant>, or <constant>GL_STENCIL</constant>, identifying that specific buffer.
            <constant>GL_COLOR</constant>, is treated as <constant>GL_BACK_LEFT</constant> for a double-buffered context and
            <constant>GL_FRONT_LEFT</constant> for a single-buffered context.
            After <function>glInvalidateFramebuffer</function> is executed, the contents
            of the specified attachments become undefined.
