Programatically Create 301 Redirects
The Drupal 7 Redirect module gives a site the ability to redirect from one URL to another using a proper HTTP redirect status (e.g., 301 - Permanently moved). In addition to the user interface there is a programmatic method for entering redirects.
The aptly named redirect_save function takes an object containing the details of the redirect and creates a redirect for the URL.
Here is an example of creating a redirect. A status code of 0 uses the default redirect setting which is 301, unless changed in settings.
