Abstract
A hook manager for system interrupts allows hooks to be added and removed from an interrupt chain in any order. The hook manager may be realized as a dynamic-link library module and may include application program interface (API) functions that are called by application programs to add hooks and remove hooks on their behalf. The hook manager creates a standardized stack that is accessible by application programs and may be used by multiple types of application programs.
