// SETUP FUNCTIONS
- // Initialize a QPDFJob object from argv. The progname_env
- // argument is the name of an environment variable which, if set,
- // overrides the name of the executable for purposes of generating
- // the --completion options. See QPDFArgParser for details. If a
- // null pointer is passed in, the default value of
- // "QPDF_EXECUTABLE" is used. This is used by the QPDF cli, which
- // just initializes a QPDFJob from argv, calls run(), and handles
- // errors and exit status issues. You can perform much of the cli
- // functionality programmatically in this way rather than using
- // the regular API. This is exposed in the C API, which makes it
- // easier to get certain high-level qpdf functionality from other
- // languages. If there are any command-line errors, this method
- // will throw QPDFUsage which is derived from std::runtime_error.
- // Other exceptions may be thrown in some cases. Note that argc,
- // and argv should be UTF-8 encoded. If you are calling this from
- // a Windows Unicode-aware main (wmain), see
- // QUtil::call_main_from_wmain for information about converting
- // arguments to UTF-8. This method will mutate arguments that are
- // passed to it.
