	 * process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.

	 * For plugins replacing wp-cron, return true if the event was successfully
	 * unscheduled, false if not.
	 *
	 * @since 5.1.0
	 *
	 * @param null|bool $pre       Value to return instead. Default null to continue unscheduling the event.
	 * @param int       $timestamp Timestamp for when to run the event.
	 * @param string    $hook      Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
	 * @param array     $args      Arguments to pass to the hook's callback function.
