28 <para>
29 The name stack is used during selection mode to allow sets of rendering
30 commands to be uniquely identified.
31 It consists of an ordered set of unsigned integers.
32 <function>glInitNames</function> causes the name stack to be initialized to its default empty state.
33 </para>
34 <para>
35 The name stack is always empty while the render mode is not <constant>GL_SELECT</constant>.
36 Calls to <function>glInitNames</function> while the render mode is not <constant>GL_SELECT</constant> are ignored.
