how __spec_install_post work in RPM Packaging

Question

I'm checkcing binary strip in RPM Packaging and get this:

__spec_install_post:
    ...
    __os_install_post
    ...

__os_install_post:
    ...
    %{!?_debug_package:     /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip %
    {_strip}
    /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note %{_strip} %{_objdump}
     }
    ...

I didn't find anywhere in use of __spec_install_post.

Is this macro directly invoked by rpmbuild? A Documentation will be great.

It seems there's many a lot 'leaf like' macro in invoke chain. that's confusing.

I only found some references in some bugs and stuff; these seem to be magic undocumented macros that are run at certain stages, e.g. for yours right "post" the "install" stanza of your specfile.

An actual list would be great, but I think you'll only find what you already had by digging in /[usr]/lib/rpm/macros etc.
