Use of Menu Block Export [#1118370]

Is there any documentation what Menu Block Export does? It exports code that you can use in your custom module? Is there any demonstration of how that might be done? It could be SO helpful to a junior Drupal developer.

Is it possible to export some menu blocks that nice_menus can use? That would be ideal for my use.

Thank you!

For example, it would be great to see how the code from menu block export could be used to construct the simplest custom module that might only display a menu_block menu.

I could use that as a starting point for my development.

@mlecha
The code exported by menu block contains all code necessary to form your own module. You'd just need the most basic info-file and you'd be done.
What you need is an understanding of how Drupal's hook-system works, (as opposed to documentation of the menu block module).

See: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--module.inc/group/hooks/7
and
http://drupal.org/project/examples

Good luck.
