glLoadName(3G)
NAME
  glLoadName - load a name onto the name stack

SYNOPSIS
  void glLoadName(
	  GLuint name );

PARAMETERS
  name
      Specifies a name that will replace the top value on the name stack.

DESCRIPTION
  The name stack is used during selection mode to allow sets of rendering
  commands to be uniquely identified. It consists of an ordered set of
  unsigned integers.  glLoadName() causes name to replace the value on the
  top of the name stack, which is initially empty.

  The name stack is always empty while the render mode is not GL_SELECT.
  Calls to glLoadName() while the render mode is not GL_SELECT are ignored.

ERRORS
  GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glLoadName() is called while the name
  stack is empty.

  GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glLoadName() is executed between the
  execution of glBegin() and the corresponding execution of glEnd().

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet() with argument GL_NAME_STACK_DEPTH
       glGet() with argument GL_MAX_NAME_STACK_DEPTH
