glInitNames

The glInitNames function initializes the name stack.

void glInitNames(
 void);

The glInitNames function causes the name stack to be initialized to its default empty state. 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.

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

The following functions retrieve information related to glInitNames:
