If the goal is to add a function that can be executed by a user (e.g.
via psql) you have to add it to pg_proc.dat, or alternatively (and
often better) add a corresponding extension to /contrib/. You can find
a complete example here [1] for instance, see v4-0001 patch and the
function pg_get_relation_publishing_info(). Make sure it has a proper
volatility [2]. The patch [3] shows how to add an extension.
