+#### Worker support
+
+In order to support [`Worker`][] threads, addons need to clean up any resources
+they may have allocated when such a thread exists. This can be achieved through
+the usage of the `AddEnvironmentCleanupHook()` function:
+
+```c++
+void AddEnvironmentCleanupHook(v8::Isolate* isolate,
+                               void (*fun)(void* arg),
+                               void* arg);
+```
+
+This function adds a hook that will run before a given Node.js instance shuts
+down. If necessary, such hooks can be removed using
+`RemoveEnvironmentCleanupHook()` before they are run, which has the same
+signature.
+
 ### Building
 
 Once the source code has been written, it must be compiled into the binary
