No Hooks.

String|false. The permalink URL or false if post does not exist.

get_the_permalink( $post, $leavename );

$post(int/WP_Post): Post ID or post object, which link we want to retrieve.
Default: global $post
$leavename(true/false): Do not replace the name of the post in the link, i.e. do not replace the tag %postname% with the name of the post.
Default: false

Get a link to the current post in the loop:

<a href="<?php echo get_the_permalink(); ?>">Reed more...</a>

$url = get_the_permalink( 23 ); // http://site.com/post-name/

The result depends on the permalink structure. Suppose that we have such a structure: %post_id%/%postname%.html, then:

$url = get_the_permalink( 23 );
echo get_the_permalink( 1, true );

// display: http://domain.com/1/%postname%.html

Since 3.9.0

Introduced.

function get_the_permalink( $post = 0, $leavename = false ) {
	return get_permalink( $post, $leavename );
}
