        !             7: This directory is for libcurl programming examples. They are meant to show
        !             8: some simple steps on how you can build your own application to take full
        !             9: advantage of libcurl.
        !            10: 
        !            11: If you end up with other small but still useful example sources, please mail
        !            12: them for submission in future packages and on the web site.
        !            13: 
        !            14: BUILDING
        !            15: 
        !            16: The Makefile.example is an example makefile that could be used to build these
        !            17: examples. Just edit the file according to your system and requirements first.
        !            18: 
        !            19: Most examples should build fine using a command line like this:
        !            20: 
        !            21:   $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example example.c
        !            22: 
        !            23: Some compilers don't like having the arguments in this order but instead
        !            24: want you do reorganize them like:
        !            25: 
        !            26:   $ `curl-config --cc` -o example example.c `curl-config --cflags --libs`
        !            27: 
        !            28: *PLEASE* do not use the curl.haxx.se site as a test target for your libcurl
        !            29: applications/experiments. Even if some of the examples use that site as a URL
        !            30: at some places, it doesn't mean that the URLs work or that we expect you to
        !            31: actually torture our web site with your tests!  Thanks.
        !            32: 
        !            33: EXAMPLES
        !            34: 
        !            35: Each example source code file is designed to be and work stand-alone and
        !            36: rather self-explanatory. The examples may at times lack the level of error
        !            37: checks you need in a real world, but that is then only for the sake of
        !            38: readability: to make the code smaller and easier to follow.
