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).
