/**
 * @defgroup hooks Hooks
 * @{
 * Allow modules to interact with the Drupal core.
 *
 * Drupal's module system is based on the concept of "hooks". A hook is a PHP
 * function that is named foo_bar(), where "foo" is the name of the module (whose
 * filename is thus foo.module) and "bar" is the name of the hook. Each hook has
 * a defined set of parameters and a specified result type.
 *
 * To extend Drupal, a module need simply implement a hook. When Drupal wishes to
 * allow intervention from modules, it determines which modules implement a hook
 * and call that hook in all enabled modules that implement it.
 *
 * The available hooks to implement are explained here in the Hooks section of
 * the developer documentation. The string "hook" is used as a placeholder for
 * the module name is the hook definitions. For example, if the module file is
 * called example.module, then hook_help() as implemented by that module would be
 * defined as example_help().
 */
