+# Usage
+
+## 1) Add app-controller-submodule as a submodule to include in your project
+
+```bash
+git submodule add https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/apps/app-controller-submodule
+```
+
+## 2) Add app-controller-submodule as a static library to your binding
+
+```cmake
+ # Library dependencies (include updates automatically)
+ TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${TARGET_NAME}
+ ctl-utilities
+ ... other dependencies ....
+ )
+```
+
+## 3) Declare your controller config section in your binding
+
+```C
+// CtlSectionT syntax:
+// key: "section name in config file"
+// loadCB: callback to process section
+// handle: a void* pass to callback when processing section
+static CtlSectionT ctlSections[]= {
+ {.key="plugins" , .loadCB= PluginConfig, .handle= &halCallbacks},
+ {.key="onload" , .loadCB= OnloadConfig},
+ {.key="halmap" , .loadCB= MapConfigLoad},
+ {.key=NULL}
+};
+
+```
+
+## 4) Do the controller config parsing at binding pre-init
+
+```C
+ // check if config file exist
+ const char *dirList= getenv("CTL_CONFIG_PATH");
+ if (!dirList) dirList=CONTROL_CONFIG_PATH;
+
+ const char *configPath = CtlConfigSearch(apiHandle, dirList, "prefix");
+ if(!confiPath) return -1;
+
+ ctlConfig = CtlConfigLoad(dirList, ctlSections);
+ if (!ctlConfig) return -1;
+```
+
+## 5) Execute the controller config during binding init
+
+```C
+ int err = CtlConfigExec (ctlConfig);
+``` \ No newline at end of file
