+
+* `fn` {Function|AsyncFunction} The hook function. The first argument
+  to this function is a [`TestContext`][] object. If the hook uses callbacks,
+  the callback function is passed as the second argument. **Default:** A no-op
+  function.
+* `options` {Object} Configuration options for the hook. The following
+  properties are supported:
+  * `signal` {AbortSignal} Allows aborting an in-progress hook.
+  * `timeout` {number} A number of milliseconds the hook will fail after.
+    If unspecified, subtests inherit this value from their parent.
+    **Default:** `Infinity`.
+
+This function is used to create a hook that runs after the current test
+finishes.
