+    Return the indices to access (n, n) arrays, given a masking function.
+
+    Assume `mask_func` is a function that, for a square array a of size
+    ``(n, n)`` with a possible offset argument `k`, when called as
+    ``mask_func(a, k)`` returns a new array with zeros in certain locations
+    (functions like :func:`cunumeric.triu` or :func:`cunumeric.tril`
+    do precisely this). Then this function returns the indices where
+    the non-zero values would be located.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    n : int
+        The returned indices will be valid to access arrays of shape (n, n).
+    mask_func : callable
+        A function whose call signature is similar to that of
+        :func:`cunumeric.triu`, :func:`cunumeric.tril`.
+        That is, ``mask_func(x, k)`` returns a boolean array, shaped like `x`.
+        `k` is an optional argument to the function.
+    k : scalar
+        An optional argument which is passed through to `mask_func`. Functions
+        like :func:`cunumeric.triu`, :func:`cunumeric,tril`
+        take a second argument that is interpreted as an offset.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    indices : tuple of arrays.
+        The `n` arrays of indices corresponding to the locations where
+        ``mask_func(np.ones((n, n)), k)`` is True.

+    -----
+    WARNING: `mask_indices` expects `mask_function` to call cuNumeric functions
+    for good performance. In case non-cuNumeric functions are called by
+    `mask_function`, cuNumeric will have to materialize all data on the host
+    which might result in running out of system memory.
