NAME CallHookPkt -- invoke a hook function callback. (v36) SYNOPSIS return = CallHookPkt(hook,object,message); D0 A0 A2 A1 ULONG CallHookPkt(struct hook *,aptr,aptr); FUNCTION Performs the callback standard defined by a hook structure. This function is really very simple; it effectively performs a JMP to Hook->h_Entry. It is probably just as well to do this operation in an assembly language function linked in to your program, possibly from a compiler supplied library or a builtin function. It is anticipated that C programs will often call a 'varargs' variant of this function which will be named callhook. this function must be provided in a compiler specific library, but an example of use would be: result = CallHook(hook,dataobject,COMMAND_ID,param1,param2); The function callhook() can be implemented in many c compilers like this: ULONG CallHook(struct hook *hook, aptr object, ulong command, ... ) { return(CallHookPkt(hook,object,(APTR)&command)); } INPUTS hook - pointer to an initialized hook structure as defined in <utility/hooks.h> object - useful data structure in the particular context the hook is being used for. message - pointer to a message to be passed to the hook. This is not an Exec message structure, but is a message in the oop sense. RESULTS return - the value returned by the hook function. WARNING The functions called through this function should follow normal register conventions unless EXPLICITLY documented otherwise (and they have a good reason too). SEE ALSO <utility/hooks.h>
