+# Compiling the C Library
+
+## Creating the shared library and header files:
+
+```cmd
+go build -o lib_udsclient.so -buildmode=c-shared cclient.go
+```
+- this creates the header and shared library files from the cclient.go file.
+
+## Creating the the static library and header files:
+
+```cmd
+go build -o lib_udsclient.a -buildmode=c-archive ./cclient.go
+```
+- this creates the shared library and header files
+
+## Usage
+
+After creating the library and header files as described in the previous steps,
+this is how to use the functions generated by cgo
+
+```c
+char* GetUdsClientVersion()
+``` 
+This returns the version of the handshake on your local machine/client.
+
+```c
+char* GetUdsServerVersion()
+``` 
+This returns the version of the handshake on the server/host.
+
+```c
+int RequestXskMapFd(char* device)
+``` 
+This requests an xskmap Fd for a specified device.
+
+```c
+int RequestBusyPoll(int busyTimeout, int busyBudget, int fd)
+``` 
+This requests a busy poll for a specific device by using it's fd, and specifying a timeout and a budget.
+
+```c
+void CleanUpConnection()
+``` 
+After all the other functions are called, this needs to be called after all the work you need to do is done,
+so that the connection to the UDS can be cleaned up.
