Post type refers to the various structured data that is maintained in the WordPress posts table. To create a new or modify an existing post type, 'register_post_type' function is used.
WordPress already has some built-in post types are post, page, attachment, revision, and nav-menu-item.
Function Reference:
For a quick reference of how to use 'register_post_type', dig your own WordPress directory wp-includes folder. Find the PHP file post.php and find line 17 in it (in wordpress v 3.1). Here you can check how WordPress has used 'register_post_type' for creating the initial post types such as post, page, attachment etc. You can use them as reference but remember to set the '_builtin' argument to “false”.
Using register_post_type:
To register a new post type, you will need a name and an array of parameters. The function will need to be used within a function hooked to ‘init’ action.
Use small letter for $post_type_name naming post type while registering. You can find the argument parameter in WordPress Codex Page

supports
Register support of certain features for a post type. All features are directly associated with a functional area of the edit screen, such as the editor or a meta box: 'title', editor, comments, revisions, trackbacks, author, excerpt, page-attributes, thumbnail, and custom-fields. Additionally, the revisions feature dictates whether the post type will store revisions, and the comments feature dictates whether the comments count will show on the edit screen.
rewrite

Example: A post url may looks like – http://SITEURL/post_type/post_name/, generally it doesn’t happens as most of the time only the post name is used. ‘rewrite’ accept parameter in array. Ex: ‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘custom_post’) will generate url for this post similar to 'http://SITEURL/custom_post/post_name/'.
