C Specification

  void glLoadName( GLuint name )

Parameters

  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.
