+# Trigger notification exemple
+
+## Description
+This exemple is made-up of three executables.
+
+### `notification-client`
+
+```
+Usage: notification-client TRIGGER_NAME
+```
+
+A simple client that subscribes to the notifications emitted by the `TRIGGER_NAME` trigger.
+
+### `instrumented-app`
+
+An application that emits the `trigger_exemple:my_event` event every 2 seconds.
+
+### `demo.sh`
+
+This script adds a trigger named `demo_trigger` which emits a notification when the user-space `trigger_exemple:my_event` event occurs.
+
+Once the trigger has been setup, the notification-client is launched to print all notifications emitted by the `demo_trigger` trigger.
+
+## Building
+
+Simply run the included Makefile.
+
+## Running the exemple
+
+1) Launch a session daemon using:
+        ```
+        $ lttng-sessiond
+        ```
+2) Launch the `demo.sh` script
+3) Launch the `instrumented-app`
+
+The following output should be produced:
+
+```
+$ ./demo.sh
