This is only a placeholder project to protect the namespace "custom" which is often used in Drupal websites for custom code.

If you are searching the Project page of a module you found in your Drupal installation. I am sure this code is not from this project but a programmer has created a module with this name to make some custom modifications. A typical example is modify forms with hook_form_alter() and the hook is called with "custom_form_alter" inside of a file named "custom.module".

There no plan to create any Releases for this project for avoiding conflicts in update process.

There are some real contrib modules with names starting with "custom_" like:

Maybe it was not good idea of the programmers to choose a module name with the namespace prefix "custom_". If you want to use a module like this be aware of your own custom.module, if you have one.
