Filter hook 'wp_count_posts'

Description

Counts number of posts of a post type and if user has permissions to view. This function provides an efficient method of finding the amount of post's type a blog has. Another method is to count the amount of items in get_posts(), but that method has a lot of overhead with doing so. Therefore, when developing for 2.5+, use this function instead. The $perm parameter checks for 'readable' value and if the user can read private posts, it will display that for the user that is signed in. or an empty object if the post type does not exist.
