To save our bandwidth, we show only a snippet of code around each occurence of the hook. View complete file in SVN (without highlighting).
The best way to understand what a hook does is to look at where it occurs in the source code.
do_action( "hook_name" )apply_filters( "hook_name", "what_to_filter" ).Remember, this hook may occur in more than one file. Moreover, the hook's context may change from version to version.

| 25 | * the_author() - Echo the name of the author of the current post in the Loop. |
| 26 | * |
| 27 | * The behavior of this function is based off of old functionality predating get_the_author(). |
| 28 | * This function is not deprecated, but is designed to echo the value from get_the_author() |
| 29 | * and as an result of any old theme that might still use the old behavior will also |
| 30 | * pass the value from get_the_author(). |
