+Adding a new function to libfdt.h
+---------------------------------
+
+The shared library uses libfdt/version.lds to list the exported functions, so
+add your new function there. Check that your function works with pylibfdt. If
+it cannot be supported, put the declaration in libfdt.h behind #ifndef SWIG so
+that swig ignores it.
