This is a placeholder for describing further keys for hook_entity_info(), which are introduced the entity API in order to support any entity type; e.g. to make entity_save(), entity_create(), entity_view() and others work.

• plural label: (optional) The human-readable, plural name of the entity type. As 'label' it should start capitalized.
• description: (optional) A human-readable description of the entity type.
• 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.
