void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    // You can verify a signed DLL or EXE.
    const char *path = "c:/someDir/something.dll";

    CkCodeSign codeSign;

    // If successful, the signature is removed from the EXE or DLL file.
    success = codeSign.RemoveSignature(path);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << codeSign.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
    }

    std::cout << "success: " << success << "\r\n";
    }
