""",

Hook(
"suspend",
"""
Called when system is about to sleep, suspend or hibernate.
Relies on systemd's inhibitor dbus interface, via the dbus-fast package.
When this hook is used, qtile will set an inhibitor that prevent the system
from sleeping. The inhibitor is removed as soon as your function exits. You should therefore
not use long-running code in this function.
Please note, this inhibitor will also only delay, not block, the computer's ability to sleep.
The default delay is 5 seconds. If your function has not completed within that time, the
machine will still sleep (see important note below).
You can increase this delay by setting ``InhibitDelayMaxSec`` in ``logind.conf.``
see: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/logind.conf.html
In addition, closing a laptop lid will ignore inhibitors by default. You can override this
by setting ``LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no`` in ``/etc/systemd/logind.conf``.
.. important::
The logind service creates an inhibitor by passing a reference to a lock file which must
be closed to release the lock. Additional references to the lock may be created if you
spawn processes with the ``subprocess`` module and these processes are running when
the machine tries to suspend. As a result, it is strongly recommended that you launch
any processes with ``qtile.spawn(...)`` as this will not create additional copies of the
lock.
**Arguments**
None
Example:
.. code:: python
from libqtile import hook, qtile
@hook.subscribe.suspend
def lock_on_sleep():
# Run screen locker
qtile.spawn("/path/to/screen_locker")
""",
_suspend_func,
),
Hook(
"user",
"""
Use to create user-defined hooks.
The purpose of these hooks is to allow a hook to be fired by an external application.
Hooked functions can receive arguments but it is up to the application firing the hook to ensure
the correct arguments are passed. No checking will be performed by qtile.
Example:
.. code:: python
from libqtile import hook
from libqtile.log_utils import logger
@hook.subscribe.user("my_custom_hook")
def hooked_function():
logger.warning("Custom hook received.")
The external script can then call the hook with the following command:
.. code::
qtile cmd-obj -o cmd -f fire_user_hook -a my_custom_hook
.. note::
If the script will be run by a different user then you will need to pass the path to the socket
file used by the current process. One way to achieve this is to specify a path for the socket when starting
qtile e.g. ``qtile start -s /tmp/qtile.socket``.
When firing the hook, you should then call
``qtile cmd-obj -o cmd -f fire_user_hook -a my_custom_hook -s /tmp/qtile.socket``
However, the same socket will need to be passed wherever you run ``qtile cmd-obj`` or ``qtile shell``.
