+## JuliaC examples
+
+This directory contains simple examples of how to use the core JuliaC features of
+generating executables and shared libraries, together with bundling and/or trimming.
+
+Follow these steps to try out the examples:
+
+### Install the juliac app
+
+```
+julia
+]app add JuliaC
+```
+
+### Generate an executable with trimming
+
+The following commands assume this `examples` directory is your current directory.
+
+```
+~/.julia/bin/juliac HelloApp --output-exe hello --trim
+
+./hello
+```
+
+### Generate a self-contained bundle for an executable
+
+```
+~/.julia/bin/juliac HelloApp --output-exe hello --trim --bundle hellodir
+
+./hellodir/bin/hello
+```
+
+### Generate a shared library
+
+```
+~/.julia/bin/juliac TinyLibm --output-lib tinylibm --compile-ccallable --trim 
+
+objdump -T tinylibm.so | less
+```
+
+With symbol privatization, allowing the library to be loaded within a julia process:
+
+```
+~/.julia/bin/juliac TinyLibm --output-lib tinylibm --compile-ccallable --trim --bundle tinylibm --privatize
+
+julia
+
+ccall((:sin, "tinylibm/lib/tinylibm.so"), Float64, (Float64,), 2.1)
+```
+
+### Generate a C header file
+
+```
+~/.julia/bin/juliac TinyLibm --output-lib tinylibm --compile-ccallable --trim --bundle tinylibm --privatize --export-abi tinylibm.json
+
+julia gen_c_header.jl tinylibm
+
+cat tinylibm.h
+```
