How to put the caption below the listing?

Question

When I use a simple caption, tex puts it above the listing

\begin{lstlisting}[caption={My Caption}]
\end{lstlisting}

If I use \captionof, caption goes below the listing, but paragraph for next line doesn't work.

\begin{lstlisting}
Listing example
\end{lstlisting}
\captionof{lstlisting}{My caption}

Next line, Next line, Next line, Next line.

As you see, there is not a paragraph.

listings has an option to change the position of the caption. Look in the documentation, sec 5.7 Captions. — Ulrike Fischer, Apr 10 '16 at 12:20
Use texdoc listings, or search in the doc-folder of your texsystem. — Ulrike Fischer, Apr 10 '16 at 12:30

@ChristianHupfer how is this off-topic? self answering questions is absolutely encouraged, and this is a valid question. Only problem is that the answer is edited in instead of being posted as answer... — TheFlow0360, Jul 05 '17 at 12:58
@TheFlow0360: The O.P. did not answer his question however. If you don't agree, cast a reopen vote — , Jul 05 '17 at 14:23

@Rodrigo Find the "listings" package in ctan.org (or search for "ctan lstlisting" in a search engine and find the first ctan link) then click on "Package documentation". This works for any LaTeX packages available in CTAN. – Breno Oct 26 '21 at 18:24
