Define the human-readable name of a node type.
This is a hook used by node modules. This hook is required of modules that define a node type. It is called to determine the names of the module's nodes.
Return value
An array of information on the module's nodes. The array contains a sub-array for each node with the node name as the key. Each sub-array has two elements, 'name' and 'base'.
The 'name' value is a human-readable name for the node and while the 'base' value tells Drupal how a module's functions map to hooks (i.e. if the base is example_foo then example_foo_insert will be called when inserting the node).
To prevent namespace conflicts, each node type defined by a module should be prefixed by the name of the module and an underscore.
For a detailed usage example, see node_example.module.
