The file charm.py is the entrypoint for the charm. It contains functions for its basic operation, including its major hooks and file management. This file can be found at src/charm.py.

Hook Handler Flowcharts

These flowcharts detail the control flow of the hooks in this program. Unless otherwise stated, a hook deferral is always followed by a return.
