9 The following is a list of hook variables that let you provide
10 functions to be called from within Emacs on suitable occasions.
12 Most of these variables have names ending with @samp{-hook}. They are
13 @dfn{normal hooks}, run by means of @code{run-hooks}. The value of such
14 a hook is a list of functions; the functions are called with no
15 arguments and their values are completely ignored. The recommended way
16 to put a new function on such a hook is to call @code{add-hook}.
17 @xref{Hooks}, for more information about using hooks.
19 Every major mode defines a mode hook named
20 @samp{@var{modename}-mode-hook}. The major mode command runs this
21 normal hook with @code{run-mode-hooks} as the very last thing it does.
22 @xref{Mode Hooks}. Most minor modes have mode hooks too. Mode hooks
23 are omitted in the list below.
25 The variables whose names end in @samp{-hooks} or @samp{-functions} are
26 usually @dfn{abnormal hooks}; their values are lists of functions, but
27 these functions are called in a special way (they are passed arguments,
28 or their values are used). A few of these variables are actually normal
29 hooks which were named before we established the convention that normal
30 hooks' names should end in @samp{-hook}.
32 The variables whose names end in @samp{-function} have single functions
33 as their values. (In older Emacs versions, some of these variables had
34 names ending in @samp{-hook} even though they were not normal hooks;
35 however, we have renamed all of those.)
