.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd specifies multiple geometric primitives
with very few subroutine calls. Instead of calling a GL function
to pass each individual vertex, normal, texture coordinate, edge
flag, or color, you can prespecify
separate arrays of vertices, normals, and so on and use them to
construct a sequence of primitives with a single
call to _cmnd.
.P
When _cmnd is called, it uses _param2 sequential elements from an
enabled array, starting at _param4 to construct a sequence of
geometric primitives. _param1 specifies what kind of primitives are
constructed, and how the array elements construct these primitives. If
more than one array is enabled, each is used. If
_const(VERTEX_ARRAY) is not enabled, no geometric primitives are
constructed.
.P
Vertex attributes that are modified by _cmnd have an
unspecified value after _cmnd returns. For example, if
_const(COLOR_ARRAY) is enabled, the value of the current color is
undefined after _cmnd executes. Attributes that aren't
modified maintain their previous values.
.SH NOTES
_cmnd is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
.P
_cmnd is included in display lists. If _cmnd is entered into a
display list, 
the necessary array data (determined by the array pointers and
enables) is also 
entered into the display list. Because the array pointers and
enables are client-side state, their values affect display lists
when the lists are created, not when the lists are executed.
.SH ERRORS
_const(INVALID_ENUM) is generated if _param1 is not an accepted value.
.P
_const(INVALID_VALUE) is generated if _param2 is negative.
.P
_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd is executed between
the execution of _cmnd(Begin) and the corresponding _cmnd(End).
