+/**
+ * Provide an entity type via the entity CRUD API.
+ *
+ * This is a placeholder for describing further keys for hook_entity_info(),
+ * which are introduced the entity API for providing a new entity type with the
+ * entity CRUD API. For that the entity API provides two controllers:
+ * - EntityAPIController: A regular CRUD controller.
+ * - EntityAPIControllerExportable: Extends the regular controller to
+ * additionally support exportable entities and/or entities making use of a
+ * name key.
+ * See entity_metadata_hook_entity_info() for the documentation of additional
+ * keys for hook_entity_info() as introduced by the entity API and supported for
+ * any entity type.
+ *
+ * The entity CRUD API supports the following keys:
+ * - entity class: (optional) A class the controller will use for instantiating
+ * entities. It is suggested to make use of the provided "Entity" class or to
+ * extend it.
+ * - bundle of: (optional) Entity types can be used as bundles for
+ * other entity types. To enable this functionality, use the 'bundle of' key
+ * to indicate which entity type this entity serves as a bundle for. But note
+ * that the other entity type will still need to declare entities of this
+ * type as bundles, as described by the documentation of hook_entity_info().
+ * If the other entity type is fieldable, the entity API controller takes
+ * care of invoking the field API bundle attachers. Note that
+ * field_attach_delete_bundle() has to be invoked manually upon module
+ * uninstallation. See entity_test_entity_info() and entity_test_uninstall()
+ * for examples.
+ * - module: (optional) The module providing the entity type. This is optional,
+ * but strongly suggested.
+ * - exportable: (optional) Whether the entity is exportable. Defaults to FALSE.
+ * If enabled, a name key should be specified and db columns for the module
+ * and status key as defined by entity_exportable_schema_fields() have to
+ * exist in the entity's base table. Also see 'entity keys' below.
+ * This option requires the EntityAPIControllerExportable to work.
+ * - entity keys: An array of keys as defined by Drupal core. The following
+ * additional keys are used by the entity CRUD API:
+ * - name: (optional) The key of the entity property containing the unique,
+ * machine readable name of the entity. If specified, this is used as
+ * identifier of the entity, while the usual 'id' key is still required and
+ * may be used when modules deal with entities generically, or to refer to
+ * the entity internally, i.e. in the database.
+ * If a name key is given, the name is used as entity identifier by the
+ * entity API module, metadata wrappers and entity-type specific hooks.
+ * However note that for consistency all generic entity hooks like
+ * hook_entity_load() are invoked with the entities keyed by numeric id,
+ * while entity-type specific hooks like hook_{entity_type}_load() are
+ * invoked with the entities keyed by name.
+ * Also, just as entity_load_single() entity_load() may be called
+ * with names passed as the $ids parameter, while the results of
+ * entity_load() are always keyed by numeric id. Thus, it is suggested to
+ * make use of entity_load_multiple_by_name() to implement entity-type
+ * specific loading functions like {entity_type}_load_multiple(), as this
+ * function returns the entities keyed by name. See entity_test_get_types()
+ * for an example.
+ * For exportable entities, it is strongly recommended to make use of a
+ * machine name as names are portable across systems.
+ * This option requires the EntityAPIControllerExportable to work.
+ * - module: (optional) A key for the module property used by the entity CRUD
+ * API to save the source module name for exportable entities that have been
+ * provided in code. Defaults to 'module'.
+ * - status: (optional) The name of the entity property used by the entity
+ * CRUD API to save the exportable entity status using defined bit flags.
+ * Defaults to 'status'. See entity_has_status().
+ * - default revision: (optional) The name of the entity property used by
+ * the entity CRUD API to determine if a newly-created revision should be
+ * set as the default revision. Defaults to 'default_revision'.
+ * Note that on entity insert the created revision will be always default
+ * regardless of the value of this entity property.
+ * - export: (optional) An array of information used for exporting. For ctools
+ * exportables compatibility any export-keys supported by ctools may be added
+ * to this array too.
+ * - default hook: What hook to invoke to find exportable entities that are
+ * currently defined. This hook is automatically called by the CRUD
+ * controller during entity_load(). Defaults to 'default_' . $entity_type.
+ * - admin ui: (optional) An array of optional information used for providing an
+ * administrative user interface. To enable the UI at least the path must be
+ * given. Apart from that, the 'access callback' (see below) is required for
+ * the entity, as well as the 'ENTITY_TYPE_form' for editing, adding and
+ * cloning. The form gets the entity and the operation ('edit', 'add' or
+ * 'clone') passed. See entity_ui_get_form() for more details.
+ * Known keys are:
+ * - path: A path where the UI should show up as expected by hook_menu().
+ * - controller class: (optional) A controller class name for providing the
+ * UI. Defaults to EntityDefaultUIController, which implements an admin UI
+ * suiting for managing configuration entities. Other provided controllers
+ * suiting for content entities are EntityContentUIController or
+ * EntityBundleableUIController (which work fine despite the poorly named
+ * 'admin ui' key).
+ * For customizing the UI inherit from the default class and override
+ * methods as suiting and specify your class as controller class.
+ * - file: (optional) The name of the file in which the entity form resides
+ * as it is required by hook_menu().
+ * - file path: (optional) The path to the file as required by hook_menu. If
+ * not set, it defaults to entity type's module's path, thus the entity
+ * types 'module' key is required.
+ * - menu wildcard: The wildcard to use in paths of the hook_menu() items.
+ * Defaults to %entity_object which is the loader provided by Entity API.
+ * - rules controller class: (optional) A controller class for providing Rules
+ * integration, or FALSE to disable this feature. The given class has to
+ * inherit from the class EntityDefaultRulesController, which serves as
+ * default in case the entity type is not marked as configuration. For
+ * configuration entities it defaults to FALSE.
+ * - metadata controller class: (optional) A controller class for providing
+ * entity property info. By default some info is generated out of the
+ * information provided in your hook_schema() implementation, while only read
+ * access is granted to that properties by default. Based upon that the
+ * Entity tokens module also generates token replacements for your entity
+ * type, once activated.
+ * Override the controller class to adapt the defaults and to improve and
+ * complete the generated metadata. Set it to FALSE to disable this feature.
+ * Defaults to the EntityDefaultMetadataController class.
+ * - extra fields controller class: (optional) A controller class for providing
+ * field API extra fields. Defaults to none.
+ * The class must implement the EntityExtraFieldsControllerInterface. Display
+ * extra fields that are exposed that way are rendered by default by the
+ * EntityAPIController. The EntityDefaultExtraFieldsController class may be
+ * used to generate extra fields based upon property metadata, which in turn
+ * get rendered by default by the EntityAPIController.
+ * - features controller class: (optional) A controller class for providing
+ * Features module integration for exportable entities. The given class has to
+ * inherit from the default class being EntityDefaultFeaturesController. Set
+ * it to FALSE to disable this feature.
+ * - i18n controller class: (optional) A controller class for providing
+ * i18n module integration for (exportable) entities. The given class has to
+ * inherit from the class EntityDefaultI18nStringController. Defaults to
+ * FALSE (disabled). See EntityDefaultI18nStringController for more
+ * information.
+ * - views controller class: (optional) A controller class for providing views
+ * integration. The given class has to inherit from the class
+ * EntityDefaultViewsController, which is set as default in case the providing
+ * module has been specified (see 'module') and the module does not provide
+ * any views integration. Else it defaults to FALSE, which disables this
+ * feature. See EntityDefaultViewsController.
+ * - access callback: (optional) Specify a callback that returns access
+ * permissions for the operations 'create', 'update', 'delete' and 'view'.
+ * The callback gets optionally the entity and the user account to check for
+ * passed. See entity_access() for more details on the arguments and
+ * entity_metadata_no_hook_node_access() for an example.
+ * This is optional, but suggested for the Rules integration, and required for
+ * the admin ui (see above).
+ * - form callback: (optional) Specfiy a callback that returns a fully built
+ * edit form for your entity type. See entity_form().
+ * In case the 'admin ui' is used, no callback needs to be specified.
+ * - entity cache: (optional) Whether entities should be cached using the cache
+ * system. Requires the entitycache module to be installed and enabled and the
+ * module key to be specified. As cached entities are only retrieved by id key,
+ * the cache would not apply to exportable entities retrieved by name key.
+ * If enabled and the entitycache module is active, 'field cache' is obsolete
+ * and is automatically disabled. Defaults to FALSE.
+ *
+ * @see hook_entity_info()

+/**
+ * Allow modules to define metadata about entity properties.
+ *
+ * Modules providing properties for any entities defined in hook_entity_info()
+ * can implement this hook to provide metadata about this properties.
+ * For making use of the metadata have a look at the provided wrappers returned
+ * by entity_metadata_wrapper().
+ * For providing property information for fields see entity_hook_field_info().
+ *
+ * @return
+ * An array whose keys are entity type names and whose values are arrays
+ * containing the keys:
+ * - properties: The array describing all properties for this entity. Entries
+ * are keyed by the property name and contain an array of metadata for each
+ * property. The name may only contain alphanumeric lowercase characters
+ * and underscores. Known keys are:
+ * - label: A human readable, translated label for the property.
+ * - description: (optional) A human readable, translated description for
+ * the property.
+ * - type: The data type of the property. To make the property actually
+ * useful it is important to map your properties to one of the known data
+ * types, which currently are:
+ * - text: Any text.
+ * - token: A string containing only lowercase letters, numbers, and
+ * underscores starting with a letter; e.g. this type is useful for
+ * machine readable names.
+ * - integer: A usual PHP integer value.
+ * - decimal: A PHP float or integer.
+ * - date: A full date and time, as timestamp.
+ * - duration: A duration as number of seconds.
+ * - boolean: A usual PHP boolean value.
+ * - uri: An absolute URI or URL.
+ * - entities - You may use the type of each entity known by
+ * hook_entity_info(), e.g. 'node' or 'user'. Internally entities are
+ * represented by their identifieres. In case of single-valued
+ * properties getter callbacks may return full entity objects as well,
+ * while a value of FALSE is interpreted like a NULL value as "property
+ * is not set".
+ * - entity: A special type to be used generically for entities where the
+ * entity type is not known beforehand. The entity has to be
+ * represented using an EntityMetadataWrapper.
+ * - struct: This as well as any else not known type may be used for
+ * supporting arbitrary data structures. For that additional metadata
+ * has to be specified with the 'property info' key. New type names
+ * have to be properly prefixed with the module name.
+ * - list: A list of values, represented as numerically indexed array.
+ * The list<TYPE> notation may be used to specify the type of the
+ * contained items, where TYPE may be any valid type expression.
+ * - bundle: (optional) If the property is an entity, you may specify the
+ * bundle of the referenced entity.
+ * - options list: (optional) A callback that returns a list of possible
+ * values for the property. The callback has to return an array as
+ * used by hook_options_list().
+ * Note that it is possible to return a different set of options depending
+ * whether they are used in read or in write context. See
+ * EntityMetadataWrapper::optionsList() for more details on that.
+ * - getter callback: (optional) A callback used to retrieve the value of
+ * the property. Defaults to entity_property_verbatim_get().
+ * It is important that your data is represented, as documented for your
+ * data type, e.g. a date has to be a timestamp. Thus if necessary, the
+ * getter callback has to do the necessary conversion. In case of an empty
+ * or not set value, the callback has to return NULL.
+ * - setter callback: (optional) A callback used to set the value of the
+ * property. In many cases entity_property_verbatim_set() can be used.
+ * - validation callback: (optional) A callback that returns whether the
+ * passed data value is valid for the property. May be used to implement
+ * additional validation checks, such as to ensure the value is a valid
+ * mail address.
+ * - access callback: (optional) An access callback to allow for checking
+ * 'view' and 'edit' access for the described property. If no callback
+ * is specified, a 'setter permission' may be specified instead.
+ * - setter permission: (optional) A permission that describes whether
+ * a user has permission to set ('edit') this property. This permission
+ * is only be taken into account, if no 'access callback' is given.
+ * - schema field: (optional) In case the property is directly based upon
+ * a field specified in the entity's hook_schema(), the name of the field.
+ * - queryable: (optional) Whether a property is queryable with
+ * EntityFieldQuery. Defaults to TRUE if a 'schema field' is specified, or
+ * if the deprecated 'query callback' is set to
+ * 'entity_metadata_field_query'. Otherwise it defaults to FALSE.
+ * - query callback: (deprecated) A callback for querying for entities
+ * having the given property value. See entity_property_query().
+ * Generally, properties should be queryable via EntityFieldQuery. If
+ * that is the case, just set 'queryable' to TRUE.
+ * - required: (optional) Whether this property is required for the creation
+ * of a new instance of its entity. See
+ * entity_property_values_create_entity().
+ * - field: (optional) A boolean indicating whether a property is stemming
+ * from a field.
+ * - computed: (optional) A boolean indicating whether a property is
+ * computed, i.e. the property value is not stored or loaded by the
+ * entity's controller but determined on the fly by the getter callback.
+ * Defaults to FALSE.
+ * - entity views field: (optional) If enabled, the property is
+ * automatically exposed as views field available to all views query
+ * backends listing this entity-type. As the property value will always be
+ * generated from a loaded entity object, this is particularly useful for
+ * 'computed' properties. Defaults to FALSE.
+ * - sanitized: (optional) For textual properties only, whether the text is
+ * already sanitized. In this case you might want to also specify a raw
+ * getter callback. Defaults to FALSE.
+ * - sanitize: (optional) For textual properties, that are not sanitized
+ * yet, specify a function for sanitizing the value. Defaults to
+ * check_plain().
+ * - raw getter callback: (optional) For sanitized textual properties, a
+ * separate callback which can be used to retrieve the raw, unprocessed
+ * value.
+ * - clear: (optional) An array of property names, of which the cache should
+ * be cleared too once this property is updated. As a rule of thumb any
+ * duplicated properties should be avoided though.
+ * - property info: (optional) An array of info for an arbitrary data
+ * structure together with any else not defined type, see data type
+ * 'struct'. Specify metadata in the same way as defined for this hook.
+ * - property info alter: (optional) A callback for altering the property
+ * info before it is used by the metadata wrappers.
+ * - property defaults: (optional) An array of property info defaults for
+ * each property derived of the wrapped data item (e.g. an entity).
+ * Applied by the metadata wrappers.
+ * - auto creation: (optional) Properties of type 'struct' may specify
+ * this callback which is used to automatically create the data structure
+ * (e.g. an array) if necessary. This is necessary in order to support
+ * setting a property of a not yet initialized data structure.
+ * See entity_metadata_field_file_callback() for an example.
+ * - translatable: (optional) Whether the property is translatable, defaults
+ * to FALSE.
+ * - entity token: (optional) If Entity tokens module is enabled, the
+ * module provides a token for the property if one does not exist yet.
+ * Specify FALSE to disable this functionality for the property.
+ * - bundles: An array keyed by bundle name containing further metadata
+ * related to the bundles only. This array may contain the key 'properties'
+ * with an array of info about the bundle specific properties, structured in
+ * the same way as the entity properties array.
