-/// # Safety
-/// By using godot-rust, you accept the safety considerations [as outlined in the book][safety].
-/// Please make sure you fully understand the implications.
+/// # Custom entry symbol
+/// There is usually no reason to, but you can use a different entry point (C function in the dynamic library). This must match the key
+/// that you specify in the `.gdextension` file. Let's say your `.gdextension` file has such a section:
+/// ```toml
+/// [configuration]
+/// entry_symbol = "custom_name"
+/// ```
+/// then you can implement the trait like this:
+/// ```no_run
+/// # use godot::init::*;
+/// struct MyExtension;
 ///
+/// #[gdextension(entry_symbol = custom_name)]
+/// unsafe impl ExtensionLibrary for MyExtension {}
+/// ```
+/// Note that this only changes the name. You cannot provide your own function -- use the [`on_level_init()`][ExtensionLibrary::on_level_init]
+/// hook for custom startup logic.
+///
+/// # Safety
 /// The library cannot enforce any safety guarantees outside Rust code, which means that **you as a user** are
 /// responsible to uphold them: namely in GDScript code or other GDExtension bindings loaded by the engine.
 /// Violating this may cause undefined behavior, even when invoking _safe_ functions.
