pluggable - Where can I find a list of WordPress hooks? in WordPress

@Arlen: As Keith S points out Adam Brown's List of Hooks is the defacto resource of hooks for WordPress. However, it'st perfect:

• It doesn show the hooks in order of when they are called,
• It doesn provide file name or line number where invoked,
• It doesn provide a number of arguments passed,
• It'st a complete list because some hooks can be called dynamically,
• And it doesn show hooks from plugins.

So while Adam's list is a great resource especially for understanding when hooks were historically added it'st nearly as useful as if you were able to instrument the hooks on any given page on your own site.

I've been toying with this idea for a while so your question triggered me to write a plugin called " Instrument Hooks for WordPress ." You can find the full source below the screen shot and can you can also download it from gist here .

So here's a screenshot of what the instrumentation looks like:

You trigger the instrumentation by using the URL parameter instrument=hooks , i.e.:

http://example.com?instrument=hooks

And as promised, here's the source (or download it here .):
