.dot commands long queries equivalent

Good day, I would like some assistance with complete queries for .dot commands. These are to be used in API calls to the SQlite3.dll. I am especially interested in .export and .import csv or other files. The background of my request is that .dot commands only work in the sqlite3 console.

The dot commands are features of the SQLite Shell and are not included in the SQLite3.dll. You need to run the SQLite Shell in a subprocess (connected via pipes on unix) to use them.

Thank you. I am using windows 10. You have given me an idea of what to do, the functions I am looking for are available as extensions of the library so I will try sqlite3_load_extension() function.
