+# DuckDB C Example
+
+This directory contains a simple C example using the [DuckDB](https://duckdb.org) library running with Unikraft in binary compatibility mode.
+The C program is extracted from [DuckDB examples](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/blob/main/examples/embedded-c/main.c) and it creates and uses a test database.
+
+Follow the instructions in the common `../README.md` file to set up and configure the application.
+
+## Quick Run
+
+Use `kraft` to run the image:
+
+```console
+kraft run -M 128M
+```
+
+Once executed, it will print out information from the created database:
+
+```console
+```
+
+## Scripted Run
+
+Use the scripted runs, detailed in the common `../README.md`.
+Running the scripts will print out information ame as above.
