Minimal example

From samples/minimal.c :

#include "../src/Pajdeg.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    // want in and out files as arguments
    if (argc != 3)
        return -1;

    // create, execute, and clean up pipe
    PDPipeRef pipe = PDPipeCreateWithFilePaths(argv[1], argv[2]);
    PDPipeExecute(pipe);
    PDRelease(pipe);
    
    return 0;
}

This example takes the input PDF (first argument) and pipes it through Pajdeg to the output path (second argument) without applying any tasks to it. (The resulting PDF will most likely differ from the first, binary-wise, but they will be identical when viewed in a PDF viewer.)

• PDPipeCreateWithFilePaths() sets up a new pipe, ensuring that the paths are valid,
• PDPipeExecute() initiates the actual piping operation, which will execute all the way to the end of the input file, and
• PDRelease() drops our reference to the pipe, so it can be cleaned up.
