+_phead(_param1)
+Specifies a symbolic constant indicating the behavior to be controlled.
+_const(FOG_HINT),
+_const(LINE_SMOOTH_HINT),
+_const(PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT),
+_const(POINT_SMOOTH_HINT), and
+_const(POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT) are accepted.

+Specifies a symbolic constant indicating the desired behavior.

+_const(DONT_CARE) are accepted.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Certain aspects of GL behavior,
+when there is room for interpretation,
+can be controlled with hints.
+A hint is specified with two arguments.
+_param1 is a symbolic
+constant indicating the behavior to be controlled,
+and _param2 is another symbolic constant indicating the desired
+behavior. The initial value for each _param1 is _const(DONT_CARE).
+_param2 can be one of the following:
+.TP 20
+_const(FASTEST)
+The most efficient option should be chosen.
+.TP
+_const(NICEST)
+The most correct,
+or highest quality,
+option should be chosen.
+.TP
+_const(DONT_CARE)
+No preference.
+.P
+Though the implementation aspects that can be hinted are well defined,
+the interpretation of the hints depends on the implementation.
+The hint aspects that can be specified with _param1,
+along with suggested semantics,
+are as follows:
+.TP 20
+_const(FOG_HINT)
+Indicates the accuracy of fog calculation.
+If per-pixel fog calculation is not efficiently supported
+by the GL implementation,
+hinting _const(DONT_CARE) or _const(FASTEST) can result in per-vertex
+calculation of fog effects.
+.TP
+_const(LINE_SMOOTH_HINT)
+Indicates the sampling quality of antialiased lines.
+If a larger filter function is applied, hinting _const(NICEST) can
+result in more pixel fragments being generated during rasterization,
+.TP
+_const(PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT)
+Indicates the quality of color and texture coordinate interpolation.
+If perspective-corrected parameter interpolation is not efficiently supported
+by the GL implementation,
+hinting _const(DONT_CARE) or _const(FASTEST) can result in simple linear
+interpolation of colors and/or texture coordinates.
+.TP
+_const(POINT_SMOOTH_HINT)
+Indicates the sampling quality of antialiased points.
+If a larger filter function is applied, hinting _const(NICEST) can
+result in more pixel fragments being generated during rasterization,
+.TP
+_const(POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT)
+Indicates the sampling quality of antialiased polygons.
+Hinting _const(NICEST) can result in more pixel fragments being generated
+during rasterization,
+if a larger filter function is applied.
+.SH NOTES
+The interpretation of hints depends on the implementation.
+Some implementations ignore _cmnd(Hint) settings.
+.SH ERRORS
+_const(INVALID_ENUM) is generated if either _param1 or _param2 is not
+an accepted value.
+.P
+_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd
+is executed between the execution of _cmnd(Begin)
+and the corresponding execution of _cmnd(End).
