Parameters

File: wp-includes/cron.php

/**
* Filter to preflight or hijack clearing all events attached to the hook.
*
* Returning a non-null value will short-circuit the normal unscheduling
* process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.
*
* For plugins replacing wp-cron, return the number of events successfully
* unscheduled (zero if no events were registered with the hook) or false
* if unscheduling one or more events fails.
*
* @since 5.1.0
*
* @param null|int|false $pre Value to return instead. Default null to continue unscheduling the hook.
* @param string $hook Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
