SHTK_CONFIG_RUN_HOOK(3)      Library Functions Manual	 SHTK_CONFIG_RUN_HOOK(3)

NAME
     shtk_config_run_hook -- Executes a hook defined in a configuration file

LIBRARY
     shtk_import config

SYNOPSIS
     shtk_config_run_hook hook [arg1 .. argN]

DESCRIPTION
     The  shtk_config_run_hook	function  executes the function hook, defined by
     the configuration file, in the same context as  the  file.   Any  arguments
     arg1  to  argN  are passed literally to the hook.	Hooks should not be exe-
     cuted directly because otherwise they  would  need  to  use  the  shtk_con-
     fig_get(3)  familiy of functions to read the variables defined in the file,
     which could be quite strange.

     Keep in mind that the hook will only be able to  access  the  configuration
     variables	previously registered with shtk_config_init(3).  Any other vari-
     ables will be hidden and not available to the hook.

EXAMPLES
     Consider the following configuration file:

	   SRCDIR=/usr/src

	   show_srcdir_hook() {
	       # Note that we can access SRCDIR directly, as would be normal in a
	       # configuration file.  No need to use shtk_config_get.
	       echo "SRCDIR is ${SRCDIR}"
	   }

     Then, we could process the file and execute the defined hook like this:

	   shtk_config_init SRCDIR
	   shtk_config_load ".../path/to/the/file/above.conf"

	   # This will print nothing because SRCDIR is not available here.
	   echo "SRCDIR is ${SRCDIR}"

	   # But this will display the right SRCDIR value.
	   shtk_config_run_hook show_srcdir_hook

ERRORS
     Errors during the execution of the hook result in the  termination  of  the
     script.
