This hook allows modules to provide their own views which can either be used as-is or as a "starter" for users to build from.

This hook should be placed in MODULENAME.views_default.inc and it will be auto-loaded. This must either be in the same directory as the .module file or in a subdirectory named 'includes'.

The $view->disabled boolean flag indicates whether the View should be enabled or disabled by default.

Return value

An associative array containing the structures of views, as generated from the Export tab, keyed by the view name. A best practice is to go through and add t() to all title and label strings, with the exception of menu strings.
