do_action($tag, $arg)

add_action() attaches a function to a specific action, which is then triggered by a do_action() call somewhere during execution. This can be used to execute a group of functions using the $priority parameter to determine order (optional), and arguments can be passed through the $accepted_args parameter. Below are a few examples of how this is used in the WordPress platform:

• do_action(‘deleted_post’)
  This is executed after a post or page is deleted, and post or page ID is passed as a parameter.  This allows you add custom functionality whenever a post is deleted.  For example, lets say you want to be notified every time a post is deleted.  You can create a function to send the e-mail, and execute add_action(‘deleted_post’, ‘notify_when_deleted’, 10, $email). After that, when do_action(‘deleted_post’) is called, the notify_when_deleted() function will be called.
• do_action(‘wp_head’)
