Example: User API
Examples using user API. (drupal 6)
This module shows how to save information to the database that can be attached to users when they are loaded with user_load().
In Drupal 7 and forward, this functionality would be accomplished by attaching a field to the user entity, either in code or through the Drupal UI.
