clamped to the range

<para>
Specify a single boolean value representing if the coverage masks should be
inverted. <constant>GL_TRUE</constant> and <constant>GL_FALSE</constant> are accepted. The initial value
is <constant>GL_FALSE</constant>.

<para>
Multisampling samples a pixel multiple times at various
implementation-dependent subpixel locations to generate antialiasing
effects. Multisampling transparently antialiases points, lines, and polygons
if it is enabled.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>value</parameter> is used in constructing a temporary mask used in determining which
samples will be used in resolving the final fragment color. This mask is
bitwise-anded with the coverage mask generated from the multisampling
computation. If the <parameter>invert</parameter> flag is set, the temporary mask is inverted
(all bits flipped) and then the bitwise-and is computed.
</para>
<para>
If an implementation does not have any multisample buffers available, or
multisampling is disabled, rasterization occurs with only a single sample
computing a pixel's final RGB color.
</para>
<para>
Provided an implementation supports multisample buffers, and multisampling
is enabled, then a pixel's final color is generated by combining several
samples per pixel. Each sample contains color, depth, and stencil
information, allowing those operations to be performed on each sample.
