#1 How the function works

Suppose we have a movie registered post type (see register_post_type()) which label parameter is "Movies" and has_archive parameter is true (i.e. the type has an archive page). Now, if we call this function on the archive page http://example.com/movie, we should see the following header:

<?php post_type_archive_title( 'Posts of type: '); ?>

Outputs: "Posts of type: Movies"
