+<para>Like other GNOME libraries, <application>libsecret</application> uses
+<application>pkg-config</application> to provide compiler options. The package
+name is "<literal>libsecret-&major;</literal>". So in your
+<literal>configure.ac</literal> script,you might specify something like:</para>
+
+<informalexample><programlisting>
+PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBSECRET, [libsecret-&major; >= 1.0])
+AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_CFLAGS)
+AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_LIBS)
+</programlisting></informalexample>
+
+<para>
+Code using <application>libsecret</application> should include the header like this:
+</para>
+
+<informalexample><programlisting>
+#include <libsecret/secret.h>
+</programlisting></informalexample>
+
+<para>
+Including individual headers besides the main header files is not
+permitted and will cause an error.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Some parts of the <application>libsecret</application> API are not yet stable.
+To use them you need use the <literal>libsecret-unstable</literal> package.
+The API contained in this package will change from time to time. Here's how
+you would do it:
+</para>
+
+<informalexample><programlisting>
+PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBSECRET, [libsecret-unstable >= 1.0])
+AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_CFLAGS)
+AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_LIBS)
