Hooks are synchronous events between player core and a script or similar. This
applies to client API (including the Lua scripting interface). Normally,
events are supposed to be asynchronous, and the hook API provides an awkward
and obscure way to handle events that require stricter coordination. There are
no API stability guarantees made. Not following the protocol exactly can make
the player freeze randomly. Basically, nobody should use this API.
events are supposed to be asynchronous, and the hook API provides a way to
handle events that require stricter coordination. Not following the protocol
exactly can make the player freeze. Use with caution, avoid if synchronous event
handling is not required.

The C API is described in the header files. The Lua API is described in the
Lua section.
