+An example that uses the [C API of the Dart VM].
+
+The example shows how to pass an object from the Dart heap to native code and
+hold on to it via a `PersistentHandle`. For more documentation about handles,
+and the other C API features refer to the documentation in the header files.
+
+## Usage
+
+Run tests with `dart --enable-experiment=native-assets test`.
+
+## Open TODOs
+
+It would be better to receive a path the include folder containing the C API
+rather than having to copy it into the `src/` directory.
