hook_url_outbound_alter

Alters outbound URLs.

Parameters

$path: The outbound path to alter, not adjusted for path aliases yet. It won't be adjusted for path aliases until all modules are finished altering it, thus being consistent with hook_url_inbound_alter(), which adjusts for all path aliases before allowing modules to alter it. This may have been altered by other modules before this one.

$options: A set of URL options for the URL so elements such as a fragment or a query string can be added to the URL.

$original_path: The original path, before being altered by any modules.
