# `logtalk_linter_hook/7`

## Description

    logtalk_linter_hook(Goal, Flag, File, Lines, Type, Entity, Warning)

Multifile user-defined predicate, supporting the definition of custom linter warnings. Experimental. The `Goal` argument can be a message sending goal, `Object::Message`, a call to a Prolog built-in predicate, or a call to a module predicate, `Module:Predicate`. The `Flag` argument must be a supported linter flag. The `Warning` argument must be a valid `core` message term.

## Modes and number of proofs

    logtalk_linter_hook(@callable, +atom, +atom, +pair(integer), +atom, @object_identifier, --callable) - zero_or_more

## Errors

(none)

## Examples

    :- multifile(user::logtalk_linter_hook/7).
    % warn about using list::append/3 to construct a list from an head and a tail
    user::logtalk_linter_hook(
        list::append(L1,L2,L), suspicious_calls,
        File, Lines, Type, Entity,
        suspicious_call(File, Lines, Type, Entity, list::append(L1,L2,L), [L=[Head|L2]])
    ) :-
        nonvar(L1),
        L1 = [Head].
