h1. Hooks

{{>toc}}nnnnn {{>toc}}

[[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]].

Generally 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.

<pre>{{subforge_hide}}<code class="ruby">
# A hook in the config
on :client_create do |c|
puts c.name #< Name of the client
end

# A hook in a sublet
on :client_create do |s, c|
puts s.name #< Name of the sublet
puts c.name #< Name of the client
end
</code></pre>
