+/**
+ * pango_font_map_get_serial:
+ * @fontmap: a #PangoFontMap
+ *
+ * Returns the current serial number of @fontmap.  The serial number is
+ * initialized to an small number larger than zero when a new fontmap
+ * is created and is increased whenever the fontmap is changed. It may
+ * wrap, but will never have the value 0. Since it can wrap, never compare
+ * it with "less than", always use "not equals".
+ *
+ * The fontmap can only be changed using backend-specific API, like changing
+ * fontmap resolution.
+ *
+ * This can be used to automatically detect changes to a #PangoFontMap, like
+ * in #PangoContext.
+ *
+ * Return value: The current serial number of @fontmap.
+ *
+ * Since: 1.32.4
