h1. Hooks\015\012\015\012{{>toc}}\015\012\015\012[[Hooks]] are small blocks of code ("Ruby":http://www.ruby-lang.org procs or lambdas) that can be called on certain events of the window manager. Many [[hooks]] get an object matching to the type [[hooks|hook]], like a client object for the _client_create_ [[hooks|hook]]. Generally all [[hooks]] can be either used inside of the config or in a [[sublets|sublet]].\015\012\015\012The only difference is that when a [[hooks|hook]] inside of the config can have one argument, a [[hooks|hook]] inside of a [[sublets|sublets]] has an additional argument - the instance of the [[sublets|sublet]] itself and this will always be the first argument. Many [[Hooks]] get a [[subtlext]] object as argument to interact, but all the [[subtlext]] stuff is possible - docs about this can be found in "rdoc":http://subforge.org/tab/show/subtle?tabid=0.\015\012\015\012<pre><code class="ruby">\015\012# A hook in the config\015\012on :client_create do |c|\015\012  puts c.name #< Name of the client\015\012end\015\012\015\012# A hook in a sublet\015\012on :client_create do |s, c|\015\012  puts s.name #< Name of the sublet\015\012  puts c.name #< Name of the client\015\012end\015\012</code></pre>\015\012\015\012h2.
