+     * Registers a new virtual-machine shutdown hook.
+     *
+     * <p> The Java virtual machine <i>shuts down</i> in response to two kinds
+     * of events:
+     *
+     *   <ul>
+     *
+     *   <p> <li> The program <i>exits</i> normally, when the last non-daemon
+     *   thread exits or when the <tt>{@link #exit exit}</tt> (equivalently,
+     *   <tt>{@link System#exit(int) System.exit}</tt>) method is invoked, or
+     *
+     *   <p> <li> The virtual machine is <i>terminated</i> in response to a
+     *   user interrupt, such as typing <tt>^C</tt>, or a system-wide event,
+     *   such as user logoff or system shutdown.
+     *
+     *   </ul>
+     *
+     * <p> A <i>shutdown hook</i> is simply an initialized but unstarted
+     * thread.  When the virtual machine begins its shutdown sequence it will
+     * start all registered shutdown hooks in some unspecified order and let
+     * them run concurrently.  When all the hooks have finished it will then
+     * run all uninvoked finalizers if finalization-on-exit has been enabled.
+     * Finally, the virtual machine will halt.  Note that daemon threads will
+     * continue to run during the shutdown sequence, as will non-daemon threads
+     * if shutdown was initiated by invoking the <tt>{@link #exit exit}</tt>
+     * method.
+     *
+     * <p> Once the shutdown sequence has begun it can be stopped only by
+     * invoking the <tt>{@link #halt halt}</tt> method, which forcibly
+     * terminates the virtual machine.
+     *
+     * <p> Once the shutdown sequence has begun it is impossible to register a
+     * new shutdown hook or de-register a previously-registered hook.
+     * Attempting either of these operations will cause an
+     * <tt>{@link IllegalStateException}</tt> to be thrown.
+     *
+     * <p> Shutdown hooks run at a delicate time in the life cycle of a virtual
+     * machine and should therefore be coded defensively.  They should, in
+     * particular, be written to be thread-safe and to avoid deadlocks insofar
+     * as possible.  They should also not rely blindly upon services that may
+     * have registered their own shutdown hooks and therefore may themselves in
+     * the process of shutting down.  Attempts to use other thread-based
+     * services such as the AWT event-dispatch thread, for example, may lead to
+     * deadlocks.
+     *
+     * <p> Shutdown hooks should also finish their work quickly.  When a
+     * program invokes <tt>{@link #exit exit}</tt> the expectation is
+     * that the virtual machine will promptly shut down and exit.  When the
+     * virtual machine is terminated due to user logoff or system shutdown the
+     * underlying operating system may only allow a fixed amount of time in
+     * which to shut down and exit.  It is therefore inadvisable to attempt any
+     * user interaction or to perform a long-running computation in a shutdown
+     * hook.
+     *
+     * <p> Uncaught exceptions are handled in shutdown hooks just as in any
+     * other thread, by invoking the <tt>{@link ThreadGroup#uncaughtException
+     * uncaughtException}</tt> method of the thread's <tt>{@link
+     * ThreadGroup}</tt> object.  The default implementation of this method
+     * prints the exception's stack trace to <tt>{@link System#err}</tt> and
+     * terminates the thread; it does not cause the virtual machine to exit or
+     * halt.
+     *
+     * <p> In rare circumstances the virtual machine may <i>abort</i>, that is,
+     * stop running without shutting down cleanly.  This occurs when the
+     * virtual machine is terminated externally, for example with the
+     * <tt>SIGKILL</tt> signal on Unix or the <tt>TerminateProcess</tt> call on
+     * Microsoft Windows.  The virtual machine may also abort if a native
+     * method goes awry by, for example, corrupting internal data structures or
+     * attempting to access nonexistent memory.  If the virtual machine aborts
+     * then no guarantee can be made about whether or not any shutdown hooks
+     * will be run. <p>
