[O] How does org-babel-post-tangle-hook work?

[Grant Rettke]

Hi,

In this document

http://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-source-code.html#Extracting-source-code

the hook 'org-babel-post-tangle-hook is explained as

,----
| This hook is run from within code files tangled by org-babel-tangle.
Example applications could include post-processing, compilation or
evaluation of tangled code files.
`----

I know what a hook is and how to use them and where they run.

My trouble is that I don't understand what this documentation is saying.

Is it saying that if this hook exists in a file that was tangled by
org that it will be executed? If so does it only work for elisp files
or any kind of file?

Kind regards,
