Load node-type-specific information.

This is a hook used by node modules. It is called to allow the module a chance to load extra information that it stores about a node, or possibly replace already loaded information - which can be dangerous.

Parameters

$node: The node being loaded. At call time, node.module has already loaded the basic information about the node, such as its node ID (nid), title, and body.

Return value

An object containing properties of the node being loaded. This will be merged with the passed-in $node to result in an object containing a set of properties resulting from adding the extra properties to the passed-in ones, and overwriting the passed-in ones with the extra properties if they have the same name as passed-in properties.

For a detailed usage example, see node_example.module.
