menu_rebuild()
includes/menu.inc, line 1650

Description

(Re)populate the database tables used by various menu functions.

This function will clear and populate the {menu_router} table, add entries to {menu_links} for new router items, then remove stale items from {menu_links}. If called from update.php or install.php, it will also schedule a call to itself on the first real page load from menu_execute_active_handler(), because the maintenance page environment is different and leaves stale data in the menu tables.
