The * only exceptions I can think of are: * * * I really messed something up. Ie. I somehow managed to destroy the * document I got on input, but at least I know I did. Others don't and they * will crash, and the document is of no use anyway. So let me be the last one. * * * I discarded the event. Say I'm children-protection plugin and the innocent * kid drove me (unintentionally, of course) to some adult site. So I catch * the appropriate event as long as I know it is bad, and discard it. No luck, * Jonny. Oh, wait, you are going to write *own* plugin...?! * * * I transformed the even to another one. Say user pressed a key and I'm the * keybinding hook. So I've found the key in my keybinding table, thus I catch * it, lazy_trigger (TODO) the appropriate specific event (ie. "quit") and of * course discard the original one. * * --pasky */ enum evhook_status { EVENT_HOOK_STATUS_NEXT, EVENT_HOOK_STATUS_LAST, }; /* The event hook prototype.
