# zig.hook {#zig-hook}
[Zig](https://ziglang.org/) is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software.
In Nixpkgs, `zig.hook` overrides the default build, check and install phases.
## Example code snippet {#zig-hook-example-code-snippet}
```nix
{ lib
, stdenv
, zig_0_11
}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
# . . .
nativeBuildInputs = [
zig_0_11.hook
];
zigBuildFlags = [ "-Dman-pages=true" ];
dontUseZigCheck = true;
# . . .
}
```
