Codex:

Short-circuits the return value of a meta field.

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $meta_type, refers to the meta object type (post, comment, term, user, or any other type with an associated meta table). Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function.

Possible filter names include:

  • get_post_metadata
  • get_comment_metadata
  • get_term_metadata
  • get_user_metadata
