Appendix F Standard Hooks

The following is a list of hook variables that let you provide functions to be called from within SXEmacs on suitable occasions.

Most of these variables have names ending with ‘-hook’. They are normal hooks, run by means of run-hooks. The value of such a hook is a list of functions. The recommended way to put a new function on such a hook is to call add-hook. See Hooks, for more information about using hooks.

The variables whose names end in ‘-function’ have single functions as their values. Usually there is a specific reason why the variable is not a normal hook, such as the need to pass arguments to the function.

In older Emacs versions, some of these variables had names ending in ‘-hook’ even though they were not normal hooks.

The variables whose names end in ‘-hooks’ or ‘-functions’ have lists of functions as their values, but these functions are called in a special way (they are passed arguments, or else their values are used).
