.SH DESCRIPTION
live\-build contains the components to build a live system from a configuration directory.

+The \fBlb chroot_hooks\fR command executes hook files after the chroot stage.
+
+.SH SPECIFICATION
+\fBlb chroot_hooks\fR executes any hook files found in the \fBconfig/hooks\fR directory within the configuration directory.
+.PP
+Hook files do not require to have a specific owner nor specific permissions. They are marked executable by \fBlb chroot_hooks\fR automatically when they are executed.
+.PP
+Hook files must either have the suffix \fB*.hook\fR or \fB*.hook.chroot\fR.
+.PP
+Hook files with the suffix \fB*.hook\fR are executed first, hook files with the suffix \fB*.hook.chroot\fR are executed second.
+.PP
+Hook files are executed in alphanumberical order by \fBlb chroot_hooks\fR. If one hook file depends on being run after another, best practise is to use number prefixes (nnnn, starting with 0001) to ensure the order of execution.
+.PP
+Hook files are copied into the \fBchroot/live-build\fR directory by \fBlb chroot_hoooks\fR. They are executed from within the chroot directory (chrooted) and can read the configuration directory in \fB/live-build/config\fR within the chroot directory.
