If a file is specified in loader_conf_files that ends in '.lua', lualoader will now load and execute that file. These may be used in place of a traditional loader.conf to use more complicated logic, where some values may be set based on others or based on the environment that the C bits has left us with. Lua scripts are run in a limited environment. In particular, it does not get access to any modules or, in-fact, anything except environment variable. A config.buildenv hook has been added so that a local module can add whatever it may need to to the environment. When a global var is set in the lua script, it does not immediately alter the loader environment. Instead, the script's environment is initially empty and processed only if the whole script executes successfully. Effectively, a lua configuration file either takes effect or it does not, an error will not leave it in a half-baked state.

.Dt HOOK.LUA 8
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm hook.lua
|
|
.Nd FreeBSD hook module
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
contains functionality for defining hook types and attaching hooks.
|
|
Hooks are functions used to attach custom behaviors at pre-defined points in
|
|
loader execution.
|
|
These pre-defined points are what we refer to as
|
|
.Dq hook types .
|
|
Hooks may also take an optional data parameter, which may or may not be
|
|
populated by the caller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before using the functionality provided by
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
it must be included with a statement such as the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl local hook = require("hook")
|
|
.Ss Exported functions
|
|
The following functions are exported from
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width hook.registerType -offset indent
|
|
.It Fn hook.registerType hooktype
|
|
Adds
|
|
.Ev hooktype
|
|
as a recognized hook type.
|
|
This allows functions to be added to run when hooks of this type are invoked
|
|
using
|
|
.Fn hook.runAll hooktype .
|
|
.It Fn hook.register hooktype hookfunc
|
|
Register
|
|
.Ev hookfunc
|
|
to be run when hooks of type
|
|
.Ev hooktype
|
|
are invoked.
|
|
.It Fn hook.runAll hooktype
|
|
Invoke all hooks registered for type
|
|
.Ev hooktype .
|
|
Hooks are invoked in the order in which they are registered.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Hook Naming Guidelines
|
|
Hook names should consist of the name of the module they are defined in, as well
|
|
as a verb describing when the hook is executed, separated by a period.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Dq config.reloaded
|
|
is defined in the
|
|
.Xr config.lua 8
|
|
module and run when the configuration is reloaded.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To register a hook to be run when configuration is reloaded:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
local hook = require("hook")
|
|
|
|
local function configuration_was_reloaded()
|
|
print("Configuration was reloaded!")
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
hook.register("config.reloaded", configuration_was_reloaded)
