/*
 * This file defines a basic "C" API for qpdf.  It provides access to
 * a subset of the QPDF library's capabilities to make them accessible
 * to callers who can't handle calling C++ functions or working with
 * C++ classes.  This may be especially useful to Windows users who
 * are accessing the qpdf DLL directly or to other people programming
 * in non-C/C++ languages that can call C code but not C++ code.
 *
 * There are several things to keep in mind when using the C API.
 *
 *     The C API is not as rich as the C++ API.  For any operations
 *     that involve actually manipulating PDF objects, you must use
 *     the C++ API.  The C API is primarily useful for doing basic
 *     transformations on PDF files similar to what you might do with
 *     the qpdf command-line tool.
 *
 *     These functions store their state in a qpdf_data object.
 *     Individual instances of qpdf_data are not thread-safe: although
 *     you may access different qpdf_data objects from different
 *     threads, you may not access one qpdf_data simultaneously from
 *     multiple threads.
 *
 *     All dynamic memory, except for that of the qpdf_data object
 *     itself, is managed by the library.  You must create a qpdf_data
 *     object using qpdf_init and free it using qpdf_cleanup.
 *
 *     Many functions return char*.  In all cases, the char* values
 *     returned are pointers to data inside the qpdf_data object.  As
 *     such, they are always freed by qpdf_cleanup.  In most cases,
 *     strings returned by functions here may be invalidated by
 *     subsequent function calls, sometimes even to different
 *     functions.  If you want a string to last past the next qpdf
 *     call or after a call to qpdf_cleanup, you should make a copy of
 *     it.
 *
 *     Many functions defined here merely set parameters and therefore
 *     never return error conditions.  Functions that may cause PDF
 *     files to be read or written may return error conditions.  Such
 *     functions return an error code.  If there were no errors or
 *     warnings, they return QPDF_SUCCESS.  If there were warnings,
 *     the return value has the QPDF_WARNINGS bit set.  If there
 *     errors, the QPDF_ERRORS bit is set.  In other words, if there
 *     are both warnings and errors, then the return status will be
 *     QPDF_WARNINGS | QPDF_ERRORS.  You may also call the
 *     qpdf_more_warnings and qpdf_more_errors functions to test
 *     whether there are unseen warning or error conditions.  By
 *     default, warnings are written to stderr when detected, but this
 *     behavior can be suppressed.  In all cases, errors and warnings
 *     may be retrieved by calling qpdf_next_warning and
 *     qpdf_next_error.  All exceptions thrown by the C++ interface
 *     are caught and converted into error messages by the C
 *     interface.
 *
 *     Most functions defined here have obvious counterparts that are
 *     methods to either QPDF or QPDFWriter.  Please see comments in
 *     QPDF.hh and QPDFWriter.hh for details on their use.  In order
 *     to avoid duplication of information, comments here focus
 *     primarily on differences between the C and C++ API.
