How can I run and test NVENC API working on Linux CentOS?

Question

We have a server with kepler graphics card and Nvidia driver already installed. How can I run NVENC(Hardware for Video encoding), and use its SDK on linux CentOS 6.4?

Also, how can I test if it is working in general aspects? Is there any test program, like a NVENC hello world to test NVENC API? Is it supported completely on Linux?

I know in the docs they said it is supported by linux but I want to know how can I use NVENC on linux and test it's functionality, you know such a command , simple code or script or step by step procedure or tutorial to getting start with NVENC API encoder to use kepler NVENC hardware on linux and in practice is it supported in all aspect in linux ?

do you have any point for running SDK sample on linux , does it need any pre-requirment or config to run ?
