+`run_hook`::
+
+	Run a hook.
+	The first argument is a string to an index file or NULL
+	if the default index file or no index is used at all.
+	The second argument is the name of the hook.
+	The further variable number (up to 9) of arguments correspond
+	to the hook arguments.
+	The last argument has to be NULL to terminate the variable
+	arguments list.
+	If the hook is not executable, the return value is zero.
+	If it is executable, the hook will be executed and the exit
+	status of the hook is returned.
+	On execution, .stdout_to_stderr and .no_stdin will be set.
