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 a [[subtlext]] object matching to the type [[hooks|hook]], like a [[Clients|client]] object for the _client_create_ [[hooks|hook]]. \015\012\015\012Generally all [[hooks]] can either be used in the config or in a [[sublets|sublet]], just the number of arguments varies: Inside of the config [[hooks]] 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. \015\012\015\012<pre>{{hide}}<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.
