Thanks.I had a quick look.I'm still not clear what it's for.Can someone

That worked.Thanks.

But I only get a list of C++ functions so it still doesn't tell me what I
can do with it from the command line or just running the application.
Assuming that I can do something.

I guess then:
would give you the things you can do. And then just call those functions with whatever arguments it takes on the command line:
