.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Hooks are points in Apache Traffic Server transaction HTTP processing
where plugins can step in and do some work. Registering a plugin
function for callback amounts to adding the function to a hook. You
can register your plugin to be called back for every single
transaction, or for specific transactions only.
.sp
HTTP transaction hooks are set on a global basis using the function
\fI\%TSHttpHookAdd()\fP\&. This means that the continuation specified
as the parameter to \fI\%TSHttpHookAdd()\fP is called for every
transaction. \fI\%TSHttpHookAdd()\fP is typically called from
\fBTSPluginInit()\fP or \fBTSRemapInit()\fP\&.
.sp
\fI\%TSHttpSsnHookAdd()\fP adds \fIcontp\fP to
the end of the list of HTTP session hooks specified by \fIid\fP\&.
This means that \fIcontp\fP is called back for every transaction
within the session, at the point specified by the hook ID. Since
\fIcontp\fP is added to a session, it is not possible to call
\fI\%TSHttpSsnHookAdd()\fP from the plugin initialization routine;
the plugin needs a handle to an HTTP session.
.sp
\fI\%TSHttpTxnHookAdd()\fP adds \fIcontp\fP
to the end of the list of HTTP transaction hooks specified by
\fIid\fP\&. Since \fIcontp\fP is added to a transaction, it is
not possible to call \fI\%TSHttpTxnHookAdd()\fP from the plugin
initialization routine but only when the plugin has a handle to an
HTTP transaction.
.sp
A single continuation can be attached to multiple hooks at the same time.
It is good practice to conserve resources by reusing hooks in this way
when possible.
.sp
When a continuation on a hook is triggered, the name of the event passed to
the continution function depends on the name of the hook.  The naming
convention is that, for hook TS_xxx_HOOK, the event passed to the continuation
function will be TS_EVENT_xxx.  For example, when a continuation attached to
TS_HTTP_READ_REQUEST_HDR_HOOK is triggered, the event passed to the continuation
function will be TS_EVENT_HTTP_READ_REQUEST_HDR.
.sp
When a continuation is triggered by a hook, the actual type of the event data
(the void pointer passed as the third parameter to the continuation function) is
determined by which hook it is.  For example, for the hook ID TS_HTTP_TXN_CLOSE_HOOK,
the event data is of type TSHttpTxn.  This is the case regardless of whether the
continuation was added to the hook using \fI\%TSHttpTxnHookAdd()\fP, \fI\%TSHttpSsnHookAdd()\fP
or \fI\%TSHttpHookAdd()\fP\&.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
None. Adding hooks is always successful.
