echo single bookmark

Hey all, I’m going crazy, all I want to do is echo out a single bookmark in my footer. The Codex would have me believe that the best way to go is get_bookmark() but I have been banging my head on the wall for an 2 hours trying to figure out the proper syntax as the documentation is shall we say “lacking”. there are no examples that I can find and I don’t really even know what kind of value to pass it.

variations I have tried:

<?php echo get_bookmark( 1 ); ?>
<?php echo get_bookmark( ‘1’ ); ?>
<?php echo get_bookmark( link_id=1 ); ?>
<?php echo get_bookmark( ‘link_id=1’ ); ?>
<?php echo get_bookmark( id=1 ); ?>
<?php echo get_bookmark( ‘id=1’ ); ?>

If anyone could share I would highly appreciate it. I’ll personally see to updating the codex page with whatever I find because it seriously shouldn’t be so difficult to find out.
