+@node Scrolling Hooks
+@section Hooks for Vertical Scrolling
+
+This section describes how a Lisp program can take action whenever a
+window displays a different part of its buffer or a different buffer.
+There are three actions that can change this: scrolling the window,
+switching buffers in the window, and changing the size of the window.
+The first two actions run @code{window-scroll-functions}; the last runs
+@code{window-size-change-functions}.  The paradigmatic use of these
+hooks is Lazy Lock mode; see @ref{Support Modes, Lazy Lock, Font Lock
+Support Modes, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}.
+
+@defvar window-scroll-functions
+This variable holds a list of functions that Emacs should call before
+redisplaying a window with scrolling.  It is not a normal hook, because
+each function is called with two arguments: the window, and its new
+display-start position.
+
+Displaying a different buffer in the window also runs these functions.
+
+These functions cannot expect @code{window-end} (@pxref{Window Start})
+to return a meaningful value, because that value is updated only by
+redisplaying the buffer.  So if one of these functions needs to know the
+last character that will fit in the window with its current
+display-start position, it has to find that character using
+@code{vertical-motion} (@pxref{Screen Lines}).
+@end defvar
+
+@defvar window-size-change-functions
+This variable holds a list of functions to be called if the size of any
+window changes for any reason.  The functions are called just once per
+redisplay, and just once for each frame on which size changes have
+occurred.
+
+Each function receives the frame as its sole argument.  There is no
+direct way to find out which windows on that frame have changed size, or
+precisely how.  However, if a size-change function records, at each
+call, the existing windows and their sizes, it can also compare the
+present sizes and the previous sizes.
+
+Creating or deleting windows counts as a size change, and therefore
+causes these functions to be called.  Changing the frame size also
+counts, because it changes the sizes of the existing windows.
+
+It is not a good idea to use @code{save-window-excursion} (@pxref{Window
+Configurations}) in these functions, because that always counts as a
+size change, and it would cause these functions to be called over and
+over.  In most cases, @code{save-selected-window} (@pxref{Selecting
+Windows}) is what you need here.
