missing emacs hook

Is there an "open file" or "new buffer" emacs hook?

I already have the code written and working to do the change using (rename-buffer), but I have to manually invoke it on every buffer when I open it. I can't find a hook for when emacs opens a file or creates a buffer to put this into. But surely this is a solved problem.

stackoverflow.com is probably a better place to ask emacs questions. The emacs wiki is also a great resource.

Response by poster: Never mind, I got it working. I'm using emacs 21, where it's actually find-file-hooks.
