+.. _cppvpp:
+
+==============
+C++ api client
+==============
+
+This describes how to write a C++ api client connecting to VPP's binary API.
+
+Connecting to VPP is done with :
+
+::
+
+ auto err = con.connect("example_client", nullptr, 32, 32);
+
+
+You can specify the path to the api socket/shared memory you want to connect to
+with the second parameter (set to ``nullptr``, meaning default)
+
+.. literalinclude:: ./api_example/api_example.cc
+ :language: cpp
+
+To build this you could use the following makefile
+
+.. literalinclude:: ./api_example/Makefile
+ :language: makefile
+
