+ \begin{funcdesc}{sertdlopenflags}{n}
+  Set the flags that will be used for \code{dlopen()} calls, i.e. when
+  the interpreter loads extension modules. Among other things, this
+  will enable a lazy resolving of symbols when imporing a module, if
+  called as \code{sys.setdlopenflags(0)}. To share symols across
+  extension modules, call as
+  \code{sys.setdlopenflags(dl.RTLD_NOW|dl.RTLD_GLOBAL)}.  The symbolic
+  names for the flag modules can be either found in the \refmodule{dl}
+  module, or in the \module{DLFCN} module. If \module{DLFCN} is not
+  available, it can be generated from \code{/usr/include/dlfcn.h} using
+  the \code{h2py} script.
