Functions & methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| menu_example_arg_optional_load | Load an item based on its $id. |
| menu_example_arg_optional_to_arg | A to_arg() function is used to provide a default for the arg in the wildcard. The purpose is to provide a menu link that will function if no argument is given. For example, in the case of the menu… |
| menu_example_id_load | The special _load function to load menu_example. |
| menu_example_menu | Implementatation of hook_menu(). |
| menu_example_menu_alter | Implements hook_menu_alter(). |
| menu_example_menu_link_alter | Implements hook_menu_link_alter(). |

| menu_example_user_page_title | Title callback to rename the title dynamically. |
| _menu_example_basic_instructions | Page callback for the simplest introduction menu entry. |
| _menu_example_mappings | Utility function to provide mappings from integers to some strings. This would normally be some database lookup to get an object or array from a key. |
| _menu_example_menu_page | Page callback for use with most of the menu entries. The arguments it receives determine what it outputs. |
