How channel hooks are invoked

Channel hooks are invoked in exactly the same way as plugins. Awasu generates a Windows INI file that contains information about the event and the path to this file is passed to the channel hook as its single command-line parameter.

Awasu will invoke a channel hook for two reasons:

• In response to an event occurring on the channel. The config file will look like this:

  [Config]
  Command = ProcessEvent
  EventName = ...
  

• The user is sending a command to the channel hook. The config file will look like this:

  [Config]
  Command = ProcessCommand
  CommandName = ...
  

Global parameter values can be retrieved (by parameter name) from the [GlobalChannelHookParameters] section, instance parameter values from [ChannelHookParameters].
