Just testing things.

Nothing crazy here. I put little experiments and tests I do here so I can reference them later if I need to.

NOTE
Check shell.nix to see the software and dependencies that are used in these examples. If you use Nix just do nix-shell shell.nix.

Every test has it's own Makefile so please check that before you try running it.

IMPORTANT
Some of the examples are specific to certain operating systems and they will not work everywhere. Take this into account. This code is also written in the most explicit way and lacks massively when it comes to checking of errors etc.
