29.Dt DOHOOKS 9
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm dohooks
33.Nd run all hooks in a list
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/types.h
36.In sys/systm.h
37.Ft void
38.Fn dohooks "struct hook_desc_head *head" "int flags"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Fn dohooks
42function invokes all hooks established using the
43.Xr hook_establish 9
44function.
45Hooks are called in the order of the TAILQ that
46.Fa head
47points to, however
48.Xr hook_establish 9
49can put the hooks either at the head or the tail of that queue,
50making it possible to call the hooks either in the order of
51establishment, or its reverse.
52.Pp
53The flags can specify
54.Dv HOOK_REMOVE
55to remove already processed hooks from the hook list and
56.Dv HOOK_FREE
57to also free them.
58In most cases either no flags should be used or
59.Dv HOOK_REMOVE
60and
61.Dv HOOK_FREE
62at the same time, since just HOOK_REMOVE will drop the only reference to
63allocated memory and should only be used in situations where freeing
64memory would be illegal and unnecessary.
65.Pp
66This function is used to implement the
67.Xr dostartuphooks 9
68macro.
