const std = @import("std");

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Send the same status update as shown in this example:
    // https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure this app has read/write access.
    // Otherwise it cannot post an update (i.e. tweet) to the Twitter account.
