+Extracting parameters
+"""""""""""""""""""""
+
+All post-building hooks share a common base for picking parameters from the
+set of attributes passed to the :class:`Factory`.
+
+For instance, a :class:`PostGeneration` hook is declared as ``post``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ class SomeFactory(factory.Factory):
+ FACTORY_FOR = SomeObject
+
+ @post_generation
+ def post(self, create, extracted, **kwargs):
+ obj.set_origin(create)
+
+.. OHAI_VIM**
+
+
+When calling the factory, some arguments will be extracted for this method:
+
+- If a ``post`` argument is passed, it will be passed as the ``extracted`` field
+- Any argument starting with ``post__XYZ`` will be extracted, its ``post__`` prefix
+ removed, and added to the kwargs passed to the post-generation hook.
+
+Extracted arguments won't be passed to the :attr:`~Factory.FACTORY_FOR` class.
+
+Thus, in the following call:
+
+.. code-block:: pycon
+
+ >>> SomeFactory(
+ post=1,
+ post_x=2,
+ post__y=3,
+ post__z__t=42,
+ )
+
+The ``post`` hook will receive ``1`` as ``extracted`` and ``{'y': 3, 'z__t': 42}``
+as keyword arguments; ``{'post_x': 2}`` will be passed to ``SomeFactory.FACTORY_FOR``.
