+There are multiple examples of how to use the application interface included
+in the master sources (under \textit{examples/}). This section lists a very
+common application, the usage of the master from the user-space. The example
+code reserves an EtherCAT master, creates slave configurations and domains and
+goes into cyclic mode, where the \lstinline+cyclic_task()+ function is called
+repeatedly. For more general information on how to do real-time programming
+under Linux, please have a look at the code examples in
