List Tables

If the menu type is list_table, the administration menu callback defines the list table instead of the menu page. The list table callback involves defining and returning an array consisting of strings, arrays or callbacks. You can also use callbacks in the list table definition for dynamic strings or arrays.

The documentation is based on Cars sample dataset.
