 ## Description
 
 This module compiles PRQL as a library (both `.a` and `.so` are generated). This
 allows embedding in languages that support FFI - looking at Golang.
 
-## Usage
+## Linking
+
+See [examples/minimal-c/Makefile](examples/minimal-c/Makefile).
 
 Copy the `.a` and `.so` files in a convenient place and add the following
 compile flags to Go (cgo):
 
 `CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/libprql_lib.a -lprql_lib -pthread -ldl" go build`
 
-## Code
+## Examples
+
+For a minimal example, see
+[examples/minimal-c/main.c](examples/minimal-c/main.c).
 
 Below is an example from an actual application that is using PRQL in Go.
