- A range of techniques used to alter or augment the behavior of an operating system, of applications, or of other software components by intercepting function calls or messages or events passed between software components. Code that handles such intercepted function calls, events, or messages is called a hook, because it hooks into the normal event loop. Hooking is used for many purposes, including debugging and extending functionality. ← Wikipedia
