/**
 * Declare a block or set of blocks.
 *
 * Any module can export a block (or blocks) to be displayed by defining
 * the _block hook. This hook is called by theme.inc to display a block,
 * and also by block.module to procure the list of available blocks.
 *
 * As of 4.7, all block properties (except theme) can be set in hook_block's
 * 'view' operation. You can give your blocks an explicit weight, enable them,
 * limit them to given pages, etc. These settings will be registered when the
 * block is first loaded at admin/block, and from there can be changed manually
 * via block administration.
 *
 * Note that if you set a region that isn't available in a given theme, the
 * block will be registered instead to that theme's default region (the first
 * item in the _regions array).
 *
 * @param $op
 *   What kind of information to retrieve about the block or blocks.
 *   Possible values:
 *   - 'list': A list of all blocks defined by the module.
 *   - 'configure': A configuration form.
 *   - 'save': Save the configuration options.
 *   - 'view': Information about a particular block and default settings.
 * @param $delta
 *   Which block to return (not applicable if $op is 'list'). Although it is
 *   most commonly an integer starting at 0, this is not mandatory. For
 *   instance, aggregator.module uses string values for $delta
 * @param $edit
 *   If $op is 'save', the submitted form data from the configuration form.
 * @return
 *   If $op is 'list', return an array of arrays, each of which must define an
 *   'info' element describing the block. If $op is 'configure', optionally
 *   return a string containing the configuration form. If $op is 'save',
 *   return nothing, If $op is 'view', return an array which must define a
 *   'subject' element and a 'content' element defining the block indexed by
 *   $delta.
 *
 * The functions mymodule_display_block_1 and 2, as used in the example,
 * should of course be defined somewhere in your module and return the
 * content you want to display to your users. If the "content" element
 * is empty, no block will be displayed even if "subject" is present.
 *
 * After completing your blocks, do not forget to enable them in the
 * block admin menu.
 *
 * For a detailed usage example, see block_example.module.

/**
 * Define content filters.
 *
 * Content in Drupal is passed through all enabled filters before it is
 * output. This lets a module modify content to the site administrator's
 * liking.
 *
 * This hook contains all that is needed for having a module provide filtering
 * functionality.
 *
 * Depending on $op, different tasks are performed.
 *
 * A module can contain as many filters as it wants. The 'list' operation tells
 * the filter system which filters are available. Every filter has a numerical
 * 'delta' which is used to refer to it in every operation.
 *
 * Filtering is a two-step process. First, the content is 'prepared' by calling
 * the 'prepare' operation for every filter. The purpose of 'prepare' is to
 * escape HTML-like structures. For example, imagine a filter which allows the
 * user to paste entire chunks of programming code without requiring manual
 * escaping of special HTML characters like @< or @&. If the programming code
 * were left untouched, then other filters could think it was HTML and change
 * it. For most filters however, the prepare-step is not necessary, and they can
 * just return the input without changes.
 *
 * Filters should not use the 'prepare' step for anything other than escaping,
 * because that would short-circuits the control the user has over the order
 * in which filters are applied.
 *
 * The second step is the actual processing step. The result from the
 * prepare-step gets passed to all the filters again, this time with the
 * 'process' operation. It's here that filters should perform actual changing of
 * the content: transforming URLs into hyperlinks, converting smileys into
 * images, etc.
 *
 * An important aspect of the filtering system are 'input formats'. Every input
 * format is an entire filter setup: which filters to enable, in what order
 * and with what settings. Filters that provide settings should usually store
 * these settings per format.
 *
 * If the filter's behaviour depends on an extensive list and/or external data
 * (e.g. a list of smileys, a list of glossary terms) then filters are allowed
 * to provide a separate, global configuration page rather than provide settings
 * per format. In that case, there should be a link from the format-specific
 * settings to the separate settings page.
 *
 * For performance reasons content is only filtered once; the result is stored
 * in the cache table and retrieved the next time the piece of content is
 * displayed. If a filter's output is dynamic it can override the cache
 * mechanism, but obviously this feature should be used with caution: having one
 * 'no cache' filter in a particular input format disables caching for the
 * entire format, not just for one filter.
 *
 * Beware of the filter cache when developing your module: it is advised to set
 * your filter to 'no cache' while developing, but be sure to remove it again
 * if it's not needed. You can clear the cache by running the SQL query 'DELETE
 * FROM cache';
 *
 * @param $op
 *  Which filtering operation to perform. Possible values:
 *   - list: provide a list of available filters.
 *     Returns an associative array of filter names with numerical keys.
 *     These keys are used for subsequent operations and passed back through
 *     the $delta parameter.
 *   - no cache: Return true if caching should be disabled for this filter.
 *   - description: Return a short description of what this filter does.
 *   - prepare: Return the prepared version of the content in $text.
 *   - process: Return the processed version of the content in $text.
 *   - settings: Return HTML form controls for the filter's settings. These
 *     settings are stored with variable_set() when the form is submitted.
 *     Remember to use the $format identifier in the variable and control names
 *     to store settings per input format (e.g. "mymodule_setting_$format").
 * @param $delta
 *   Which of the module's filters to use (applies to every operation except
 *   'list'). Modules that only contain one filter can ignore this parameter.
 * @param $format
 *   Which input format the filter is being used in (applies to 'prepare',
 *   'process' and 'settings').
 * @param $text
 *   The content to filter (applies to 'prepare' and 'process').
 * @return
 *   The return value depends on $op. The filter hook is designed so that a
 *   module can return $text for operations it does not use/need.
 *
 * For a detailed usage example, see filter_example.module. For an example of
 * using multiple filters in one module, see filter_filter() and
 * filter_filter_tips().

/**
 * Act on nodes defined by other modules.
 *
 * Despite what its name might make you think, hook_nodeapi() is not

 * to actions affecting all kinds of nodes, regardless of whether that
 * module defined the node.
 *
 * @param &$node
 *   The node the action is being performed on.
 * @param $op
 *   What kind of action is being performed. Possible values:
 *   - "delete": The node is being deleted.
 *   - "insert": The node is being created (inserted in the database).
 *   - "load": The node is about to be loaded from the database. This hook
 *     can be used to load additional data at this time.
 *   - "prepare": The node is about to be shown on the add/edit form.
 *   - "search result": The node is displayed as a search result. If you
 *     want to display extra information with the result, return it.
 *   - "print": Prepare a node view for printing. Used for printer-friendly view in book_module
 *   - "update": The node is being updated.
 *   - "submit": The node passed validation and will soon be saved. Modules may
 *      use this to make changes to the node before it is saved to the database.
 *   - "update index": The node is being indexed. If you want additional
 *     information to be indexed which is not already visible through
 *     nodeapi "view", then you should return it here.
 *   - "validate": The user has just finished editing the node and is
 *     trying to preview or submit it. This hook can be used to check
 *     the node data. Errors should be set with form_set_error().
 *   - "view": The node is about to be presented to the user. The module
 *     may change $node->body prior to presentation. This hook will be called
 *     after hook_view(), so the module may assume the node is filtered and
 *     now contains HTML.
 *   - "rss item": An RSS feed is generated. The module can return properties
 *     to be added to the RSS item generated for this node. See comment_nodeapi()
 *     and upload_nodeapi() for examples. The $node passed can also be modified
 *     to add or remove contents to the feed item.
 * @param $a3
 *   - For "view", passes in the $teaser parameter from node_view().
 *   - For "validate", passes in the $form parameter from node_validate().
 * @param $a4
 *   - For "view", passes in the $page parameter from node_view().
 * @return
 *   This varies depending on the operation.
 *   - The "submit", "insert", "update", "delete", "print' and "view" operations have no
 *     return value.
 *   - The "load" operation should return an array containing pairs
 *     of fields => values to be merged into the node object.

 * If you are writing a node module, do not use this hook to perform
 * actions on your type of node alone. Instead, use the hooks set aside
 * for node modules, such as hook_insert() and hook_form().

 * using a key:value syntax. This allows all search queries to have a clean
 * and permanent URL. See node_form_alter() for an example.
 *

 *   - 'name': the hook should return a translated name defining the type of
 *     items that are searched for with this module ('content', 'users', ...)
 *   - 'reset': the search index is going to be rebuilt. Modules which use
 *     hook_update_index() should update their indexing bookkeeping so that it
 *     starts from scratch the next time hook_update_index() is called.
 *   - 'search': the hook should perform a search using the keywords in $keys
 *   - 'status': if the module implements hook_update_index(), it should return
 *     an array containing the following keys:
 *     - remaining: the amount of items that still need to be indexed
 *     - total: the total amount of items (both indexed and unindexed)
 *
 * @param $keys
 *   The search keywords as entered by the user.
 *
 * @return
 *   An array of search results.
 *   Each item in the result set array may contain whatever information
 *   the module wishes to display as a search result.
 *   To use the default search result display, each item should be an
 *   array which can have the following keys:
 *   - link: the URL of the found item
 *   - type: the type of item
 *   - title: the name of the item
 *   - user: the author of the item
 *   - date: a timestamp when the item was last modified
 *   - extra: an array of optional extra information items
 *   - snippet: an excerpt or preview to show with the result
 *     (can be generated with search_excerpt())
 *   Only 'link' and 'title' are required, but it is advised to fill in
 *   as many of these fields as possible.
 *
 * The example given here is for node.module, which uses the indexed search
 * capabilities. To do this, node module also implements hook_update_index()
 * which is used to create and maintain the index.
