You probably should be thinking in terms of using CREATE FUNCTION rather
than hand-hacking the initial database contents. However, pg_proc
columns are documented at the top of pg_proc.h (not to mention in the
System Catalogs chapter of the developer documentation), and fmgrtab.c
is an automatically derived file that you shouldn't need to touch at all.
There is a good deal of documentation about writing new functions in the
HTML documentation, and lots of examples in the contrib/ tree. Note
that none of those examples rely on changing pg_proc.h ...
