A Software Hook is a software mechanism that allows software hook custom code to be executed at software hook predefined points in software hook program execution.
- AKA: Hook Point, Event Hook, Code Hook.
- Context:
- It can typically intercept Software Hook Event through software hook listeners.
- It can typically modify Software Hook Behavior via software hook callbacks.
- It can typically extend Software Hook Functionality using software hook plugins.
- It can typically trigger Software Hook Action at software hook execution points.
- It can typically enable Software Hook Customization through software hook registration.
- ...
- It can often provide Software Hook Debugging via software hook trace.
- It can often support Software Hook Chaining through software hook pipelines.
- It can often implement Software Hook Filtering using software hook conditions.
- It can often manage Software Hook Priority for software hook execution order.
- ...
- It can range from being a Pre-Processing Software Hook to being a Post-Processing Software Hook, depending on its software hook timing.
- It can range from being a Synchronous Software Hook to being an Asynchronous Software Hook, depending on its software hook execution model.
- It can range from being a System Software Hook to being an Application Software Hook, depending on its software hook scope.
- It can range from being a Static Software Hook to being a Dynamic Software Hook, depending on its software hook registration.
- It can range from being a Simple Software Hook to being a Complex Software Hook, depending on its software hook logic.
- ...
- It can implement Event-Driven Programming through software hook event handling.
- It can enable Plugin Architecture via software hook extension points.
- It can support Aspect-Oriented Programming using software hook interception.
- It can facilitate Software Customization through software hook overrides.
- ...
- Example(s):
- Development Software Hooks, such as:
- System Software Hooks, such as:
- Application Software Hooks, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- Direct Function Call, which executes software hook code immediately rather than at software hook hook points.
- Polling Mechanism, which checks software hook conditions repeatedly rather than software hook event-driven.
- Static Configuration, which sets software hook behavior at compile time rather than software hook runtime.
