 ## Usage
 
-Include the [`wintun.h` file](https://git.zx2c4.com/wintun/tree/api/wintun.h) in your project simply by copying it there and dynamically load the `wintun.dll` using [`LoadLibraryEx()`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/libloaderapi/nf-libloaderapi-loadlibraryexa) and [`GetProcAddress()`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/libloaderapi/nf-libloaderapi-getprocaddress) to resolve each function, using the typedefs provided in the header file. The [`InitializeWintun` function in the example.c code](https://git.zx2c4.com/wintun/tree/example/example.c#n268) provides this in a function that you can simply copy and paste.

 With the library setup, Wintun can then be used by first creating an adapter, and then starting a tunnel session on that adapter. Adapters have names (e.g. "OfficeNet"), and each one belongs to a _pool_ (e.g. "WireGuard"). So, for example, the WireGuard application app creates multiple tunnels all inside of its "WireGuard" _pool_:

-Then, the `WintunAllocateSendPacket` and `WintunSendPacket` functions can be used for sending packets ([used by `SendPackets` in the example.c code](https://git.zx2c4.com/wintun/tree/example/example.c#n243)), and the `WintunReceivePacket` and `WintunReceivePacket` functions can be used for receiving packets ([used by `ReceivePackets` in the example.c code](https://git.zx2c4.com/wintun/tree/example/example.c#n210)).
+Then, the `WintunAllocateSendPacket` and `WintunSendPacket` functions can be used for sending packets ([used by `SendPackets` in the example.c code](https://git.zx2c4.com/wintun/tree/example/example.c)):

+And the `WintunReceivePacket` and `WintunReceiveRelease` functions can be used for receiving packets ([used by `ReceivePackets` in the example.c code](https://git.zx2c4.com/wintun/tree/example/example.c)):

+Some high performance use cases may want to spin on `WintunReceivePackets` for a number of cycles before falling back to waiting on the read-wait event.
