You need to write a program of your own with a
mainfunction which uses the functions in the library you want to use. The library doesn’t contain any code to exercise its own functions (I won’t reiterate what @Steve-o already wrote in the comment — took the words out of my mouth). It is fairly common for the source code of a library to include a simple demo program, but this is rarely distributed with the binary library.
