And that CLI executable, unlike SQLite the library itself, directly uses C I/O and NOT a VFS [4], and in general is not meant for "outside" reuse (a pity IMHO), so you cannot use it as-is w/o an OS and shell. But of course internally, that CLI is also an SQLite "client", so you can always look into the code [5] and lift the parts you need. --DD [1] https://sqlite.org/cli.html [2] https://sqlite.org/cli.html#querying_the_database_schema [3] not yet documented apparently.
