# CGO Example

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cpliakas/cgo-example.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cpliakas/cgo-example)

A simple CGO application that prints "Hello, world!" in Go reading the data

from a library in C.

## Installation

Assuming a [correctly configured](https://golang.org/doc/install) Go

toolchain:

```shell

go get github.com/cpliakas/cgo-example

```

## Usage

Run `cgo-example` on the command line, and it should return `Hello, world!`.
