@cindex hook variables, list of
The following is a list of some hook variables that let you provide
functions to be called from within Emacs on suitable occasions.
Most of these variables have names ending with @samp{-hook}. They are
@dfn{normal hooks}, run by means of @code{run-hooks}. The value of such
a hook is a list of functions; the functions are called with no
arguments and their values are completely ignored. The recommended way
to put a new function on such a hook is to call @code{add-hook}.
@xref{Hooks}, for more information about using hooks.
The variables whose names end in @samp{-functions} are usually
@dfn{abnormal hooks} (some old code may also use the deprecated
@samp{-hooks} suffix). Their values are lists of functions, but these
functions are called in a special way: they are either passed
arguments, or their return values are used in some way. The variables
whose names end in @samp{-function} have single functions as their
values.
This is not an exhaustive list, it only covers the more general hooks.
For example, every major mode defines a hook named
@samp{@var{modename}-mode-hook}. The major mode command runs this
normal hook with @code{run-mode-hooks} as the very last thing it does.
@xref{Mode Hooks}. Most minor modes have mode hooks too.
A special feature allows you to specify expressions to evaluate if and
when a file is loaded (@pxref{Hooks for Loading}). That feature is
not exactly a hook, but does a similar job.
@c We need to xref to where each hook is documented or else document it here.
@c Add vindex for anything not indexed elsewhere.
@c This list is in alphabetical order, grouped by topic.
@c TODO It should probably be more thoroughly ordered by topic.

@item prefix-command-echo-keystrokes-functions
@vindex prefix-command-echo-keystrokes-functions
An abnormal hook run by prefix commands (such as @kbd{C-u}) which
should return a string describing the current prefix state. For
example, @kbd{C-u} produces @samp{C-u-} and @samp{C-u 1 2 3-}. Each
hook function is called with no arguments and should return a string
describing the current prefix state, or @code{nil} if there's no
prefix state. @xref{Prefix Command Arguments}.
@item prefix-command-preserve-state-hook
@vindex prefix-command-preserve-state-hook
Hook run when a prefix command needs to preserve the prefix by passing
the current prefix command state to the next command. For example,
@kbd{C-u} needs to pass the state to the next command when the user
types @kbd{C-u -} or follows @kbd{C-u} with a digit.
