                      6: 
                      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.
