# Azure Template Package client library for C++

Azure Template Package client library for C++ (`azure-template`)  matches necessary patterns that the development team has established to create a unified SDK written in the C++ programming language. These libraries follow the Azure SDK Design Guidelines for C++.

The library allows client libraries to expose common functionality in a consistent fashion.  Once you learn how to use these APIs in one client library, you will know how to use them in other client libraries.

## Getting started

For a rich example of a well formatted readme, please check [here.](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk/blob/main/docs/policies/README-TEMPLATE.md) In addition, this is an [example readme](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk/blob/main/docs/policies/README-EXAMPLE.md) that should be emulated. Note that the top-level sections in this template align with that of the [template.](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk/blob/main/docs/policies/README-TEMPLATE.md)
