47. Standard Hooks

The following is a list of hook variables that let you provide functions to be called from within Emacs 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 functions are called with no arguments and their values are completely ignored. The recommended way to put a new function on such a hook is to call add-hook. See section Hooks, for more information about using hooks.

The variables whose names end in `-hooks' or `-functions' are usually abnormal hooks; their values are lists of functions, but these functions are called in a special way (they are passed arguments, or their values are used). A few of these variables are actually normal hooks which were named before we established the convention that normal hooks' names should end in `-hook'.

The variables whose names end in `-function' have single functions as their values. (In older Emacs versions, some of these variables had names ending in `-hook' even though they were not normal hooks; however, we have renamed all of those.)
