Exploratory Mac app w/ scripted A/V output

This thread is about an app I am currently writing a proof of concept for. It's up in the air whether this will materialize so I don't have a definite name for it yet.

My first question for the forum is whether the Mac API contains C/C++ functions for programmatically generating key press and mouse events? This would be used for testing. This would not be run from a script; the app itself would trigger the events.

 

Looks like CGEventCreateMouseEvent and CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent may work.
