    583616package BarnOwl::Hooks;
     617
     618=head1 BarnOwl::Hooks
     619
     620=head1 DESCRIPTION
     621
     622C<BarnOwl::Hooks> exports a set of C<BarnOwl::Hook> objects made
     623available by BarnOwl internally.
     624
     625=head2 USAGE
     626
     627Modules wishing to respond to events in BarnOwl should register
     628functions with these hooks.
     629
     630=head2 EXPORTS
     631
     632None by default. Either import the hooks you need explicitly, or refer
     633to them with fully-qualified names. Available hooks are:
     634
     635=over 4
     636
     637=item $startup
     638
     639Called on BarnOwl startup, and whenever modules are
     640reloaded. Functions registered with the C<$startup> hook get a true
     641argument if this is a reload, and false if this is a true startup
     642
     643=item $shutdown
     644
     645Called before BarnOwl shutdown
     646
     647=item $receiveMessage
     648
     649Called with a C<BarnOwl::Message> object every time BarnOwl appends a
     650new message to its message list
     651
     652=item $mainLoop
     653
     654Called on B<every pass> through the C<BarnOwl> main loop. Any
     655functions with this hook should be very cheap, as they are very
     656frequently by the runtime.
     657
     658=item $getBuddyList
     659
     660Called to display buddy lists for all protocol handlers. The result
     661from every function registered with this hook will be appended and
     662displayed in a popup window, with zephyr formatting parsed.
     663
     664=back
     665
     666=cut
    584667
