function menu_link_load

7.x menu.inc menu_link_load($mlid)
6.x menu.inc menu_link_load($mlid)

Gets a translated, access-checked menu link that is ready for rendering.

This function should never be called from within node_load() or any other function used as a menu object load function since an infinite recursion may occur.

Parameters

$mlid: The mlid of the menu item.

Return value

A menu link, with $item['access'] filled and link translated for rendering.
