+To support backward compatibility the ``rte_function_versioning.h``
header file provides macros to use when updating exported functions. These
macros are used in conjunction with the ``rte_<library>_version.map`` file for
a given library to allow multiple versions of a symbol to exist in a shared
VERSION_SYMBOL(rte_acl_create, _v20, 2.0);

+Remembering to also add the rte_function_versioning.h header to the requisite c file where
these changes are being made. The above macro instructs the linker to create a
new symbol ``rte_acl_create@DPDK_2.0``, which matches the symbol created in older
builds, but now points to the above newly named function. We have now mapped
