Creating custom hooks?

Creating custom hooks?

[merik]

I was wondering if it is possible to create a custom hook. In particular 
I would like a hook that is triggered whenever any sort of saving is 
attempted, whether it be autosaving, (save-buffer) or 
(save-buffer-kill-emacs).

thanks,

after-save-hook is called after every saving...a before-save-hook does not

For those of you not lucky enough to use the CVS trunk of Emacs development,
those hooks were (incorrectly) called write-file-hooks and
write-content-hooks up until Emacs-21.3.

You mean those non-hooks ;-)  Otherwise, why would it be incorrect to
call them hooks...

No, they're hooks, but *a* hook shouldn't be called bla-bla-hooks,
obviously ;-)

PS: Next week, we'll look at why they can be called bla-bla-functions.
