//! A client library to communicate with ClockBoundD.
//! # Usage
//! ClockBoundC requires ClockBoundD to be running to work. See [ClockBoundD documentation](../clock-bound-d/README.md) for installation instructions.
//!
//! For Rust programs built with Cargo, add "clock-bound-c" as a dependency in your Cargo.toml.
//!
//! For example:
//! ```text
//! [dependencies]
//! clock-bound-c = "0.1.0"
//! ```
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! Runnable examples exist at [examples](examples) and can be run with Cargo.
//!
//! "/run/clockboundd/clockboundd.sock" is the expected default clockboundd.sock location, but the examples can be run with a
//! different socket location if desired:
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo run --example now /run/clockboundd/clockboundd.sock
//! cargo run --example before /run/clockboundd/clockboundd.sock
//! cargo run --example after /run/clockboundd/clockboundd.sock
//! cargo run --example timing /run/clockboundd/clockboundd.sock
//! ```
//!
//! # Updating README
//!
//! This README is generated via [cargo-readme](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-readme). Updating can be done by running:
//! ```text
//! cargo readme > README.md
//! ```
