+Using pmem as a tier in cachelib
+
+This example is intended for C++ programmers.
+
+This is example consists of these files:
+
+main.cpp   -- ecample creating a mult-tier cache using pmem
+build.sh   -- rules for building this example
+run.sh     -- one way to run this example to illustrate what it does
+
+To build this example run: ./build.sh
+To run it and see what it illustrates run: ./run.sh
