    <p>In general, a hook function is one that the Apache HTTP Server
 | 
						|
    will call at some point during the processing of a request.
 | 
						|
    Modules can provide functions that are called, and specify when
 | 
						|
    they get called in comparison to other modules.</p>

<h2><a name="corehooks" id="corehooks">Core Hooks</a></h2>
 | 
						|
    <p>The httpd's core modules offer a predefinined list of hooks
 | 
						|
    used during the standard <a href="./request.html">request processing</a>
 | 
						|
    phase. Creating a new hook will expose a function that 
 | 
						|
    implements it (see sections below) but it is essential to undestand that you will not 
 | 
						|
    extend the httpd's core hooks. Their presence and order in the request processing is in fact 
 | 
						|
    a consequence of how they are called in <code>server/request.c</code> 
 | 
						|
    (check <a href="./modguide.html#hooking">this section</a> 
 | 
						|
    for an overview). The core hooks are listed in the 
 | 
						|
    <a href="https://ci.apache.org/projects/httpd/trunk/doxygen/group__hooks.html">doxygen documentation</a>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Reading <a href="./modguide.html">guide for developing modules</a> and 
 | 
						|
    <a href="./request.html">request processing</a> before proceeding is 
 | 
						|
    highly recomended.
 | 
						|
    </p>

 | 
						|
<div class="section">
 | 
						|
<h2><a name="create" id="create">Creating a hook function</a></h2>
 | 
						|
    <p>In order to create a new hook, four things need to be
 | 
						|
    done:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <h3><a name="create-declare" id="create-declare">Declare the hook function</a></h3>
 | 
						|
      <p>Use the <code>AP_DECLARE_HOOK</code> macro, which needs to be given
 | 
						|
      the return type of the hook function, the name of the hook, and the
 | 
						|
      arguments. For example, if the hook returns an <code>int</code> and
 | 
						|
      takes a <code>request_rec *</code> and an <code>int</code> and is
 | 
						|
      called <code>do_something</code>, then declare it like this:</p>
 | 
						|
      <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">AP_DECLARE_HOOK(int, do_something, (request_rec *r, int n))</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <p>This should go in a header which modules will include if
 | 
						|
      they want to use the hook.</p>
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <h3><a name="create-create" id="create-create">Create the hook structure</a></h3>
 | 
						|
      <p>Each source file that exports a hook has a private structure
 | 
						|
      which is used to record the module functions that use the hook.
 | 
						|
      This is declared as follows:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">APR_HOOK_STRUCT(
 | 
						|
  APR_HOOK_LINK(do_something)
 | 
						|
  ...
 | 
						|
)</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <h3><a name="create-implement" id="create-implement">Implement the hook caller</a></h3>
 | 
						|
      <p>The source file that exports the hook has to implement a
 | 
						|
      function that will call the hook. There are currently three
 | 
						|
      possible ways to do this. In all cases, the calling function is
 | 
						|
      called <code>ap_run_<var>hookname</var>()</code>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <h4>Void hooks</h4>
 | 
						|
        <p>If the return value of a hook is <code>void</code>, then all the
 | 
						|
        hooks are called, and the caller is implemented like this:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">AP_IMPLEMENT_HOOK_VOID(do_something, (request_rec *r, int n), (r, n))</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <p>The second and third arguments are the dummy argument
 | 
						|
        declaration and the dummy arguments as they will be used when
 | 
						|
        calling the hook. In other words, this macro expands to
 | 
						|
        something like this:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">void ap_run_do_something(request_rec *r, int n)
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    ...
 | 
						|
    do_something(r, n);
 | 
						|
}</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <h4>Hooks that return a value</h4>
 | 
						|
        <p>If the hook returns a value, then it can either be run until
 | 
						|
        the first hook that does something interesting, like so:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">AP_IMPLEMENT_HOOK_RUN_FIRST(int, do_something, (request_rec *r, int n), (r, n), DECLINED)</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <p>The first hook that does <em>not</em> return <code>DECLINED</code>
 | 
						|
        stops the loop and its return value is returned from the hook
 | 
						|
        caller. Note that <code>DECLINED</code> is the traditional
 | 
						|
        hook return value meaning "I didn't do anything", but it can be
 | 
						|
        whatever suits you.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <p>Alternatively, all hooks can be run until an error occurs.
 | 
						|
        This boils down to permitting <em>two</em> return values, one of
 | 
						|
        which means "I did something, and it was OK" and the other
 | 
						|
        meaning "I did nothing". The first function that returns a
 | 
						|
        value other than one of those two stops the loop, and its
 | 
						|
        return is the return value. Declare these like so:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">AP_IMPLEMENT_HOOK_RUN_ALL(int, do_something, (request_rec *r, int n), (r, n), OK, DECLINED)</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        <p>Again, <code>OK</code> and <code>DECLINED</code> are the traditional
 | 
						|
        values. You can use what you want.</p>
 | 
						|
      
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <h3><a name="create-call" id="create-call">Call the hook callers</a></h3>
 | 
						|
      <p>At appropriate moments in the code, call the hook caller,
 | 
						|
      like so:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">int n, ret;
 | 
						|
request_rec *r;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ret=ap_run_do_something(r, n);</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|

<div class="section">
 | 
						|
<h2><a name="hooking" id="hooking">Hooking the hook</a></h2>
 | 
						|
    <p>A module that wants a hook to be called needs to do two
 | 
						|
    things.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <h3><a name="hooking-implement" id="hooking-implement">Implement the hook function</a></h3>
 | 
						|
      <p>Include the appropriate header, and define a static function
 | 
						|
      of the correct type:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">static int my_something_doer(request_rec *r, int n)
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    ...
 | 
						|
    return OK;
 | 
						|
}</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <h3><a name="hooking-add" id="hooking-add">Add a hook registering function</a></h3>
 | 
						|
      <p>During initialisation, the server will call each modules hook
 | 
						|
      registering function, which is included in the module
 | 
						|
      structure:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">static void my_register_hooks()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    ap_hook_do_something(my_something_doer, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_MIDDLE);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
mode MODULE_VAR_EXPORT my_module =
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    ...
 | 
						|
    my_register_hooks       /* register hooks */
 | 
						|
};</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <h3><a name="hooking-order" id="hooking-order">Controlling hook calling order</a></h3>
 | 
						|
      <p>In the example above, we didn't use the three arguments in
 | 
						|
      the hook registration function that control calling order of 
 | 
						|
      all the functions registered within the hook.
 | 
						|
      There are two mechanisms for doing this. The first, rather
 | 
						|
      crude, method, allows us to specify roughly where the hook is
 | 
						|
      run relative to other modules. The final argument control this.
 | 
						|
      There are three possible values: <code>APR_HOOK_FIRST</code>,
 | 
						|
      <code>APR_HOOK_MIDDLE</code> and <code>APR_HOOK_LAST</code>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <p>All modules using any particular value may be run in any
 | 
						|
      order relative to each other, but, of course, all modules using
 | 
						|
      <code>APR_HOOK_FIRST</code> will be run before <code>APR_HOOK_MIDDLE</code>
 | 
						|
      which are before <code>APR_HOOK_LAST</code>. Modules that don't care
 | 
						|
      when they are run should use <code>APR_HOOK_MIDDLE</code>. <em>These
 | 
						|
      values are spaced out, so that positions like <code>APR_HOOK_FIRST-2</code>
 | 
						|
      are possible to hook slightly earlier than other functions.</em></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <p>Note that there are two more values,
 | 
						|
      <code>APR_HOOK_REALLY_FIRST</code> and <code>APR_HOOK_REALLY_LAST</code>. These
 | 
						|
      should only be used by the hook exporter.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <p>The other method allows finer control. When a module knows
 | 
						|
      that it must be run before (or after) some other modules, it
 | 
						|
      can specify them by name. The second (third) argument is a
 | 
						|
      NULL-terminated array of strings consisting of the names of
 | 
						|
      modules that must be run before (after) the current module. For
 | 
						|
      example, suppose we want "mod_xyz.c" and "mod_abc.c" to run
 | 
						|
      before we do, then we'd hook as follows:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <pre class="prettyprint lang-c">static void register_hooks()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    static const char * const aszPre[] = { "mod_xyz.c", "mod_abc.c", NULL };
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ap_hook_do_something(my_something_doer, aszPre, NULL, APR_HOOK_MIDDLE);
 | 
						|
}</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <p>Note that the sort used to achieve this is stable, so
 | 
						|
      ordering set by <code>APR_HOOK_<var>ORDER</var></code> is preserved, as far
 | 
						|
      as is possible.</p>
