- Synopsis:
- hook <anything>
-
- Description:
- HOOK is used for one thing only; to activate a HOOK hook. Don't worry
- if that didn't make much sense. The client has a mechanism by which
- an arbitrary hook may be defined that can be hooked at any time by
- the HOOK command. The hook is created just like any other named
- hook, except only the HOOK command may trigger it.
-
- Examples:
- This script will echo a line every 10 seconds:
- on ^hook "foo" {
- timer 10 {
- echo This line is repeated every 10 seconds
- hook foo
- }
- }
- hook foo
-
- See Also:
- on(5) hook
-
- Other Notes:
- The same functionality of HOOK can be obtained with normal aliases.
- However, use of HOOK is preferred as it avoids the need for recursive
- aliases (which have been known to cause trouble).
