NAME
       glLoadName - load a name onto the name stack

C SPECIFICATION
       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
