C/C++ access with no postmaster running?

Is there a way from C++ to essentailly use postgresql as an embedded
database? I have a situation where I'd rather have a postgrtes daemon
running on my customer's machine except when my client application is up.
Preferably I'd like to not have to establish a network connection, and
hence use the daemon at all, to the datbase but just perform queries from
my c++ code. I've only used postgresql over the net, with a daemon, and
JDBC which is the traditional method so this is new territory. Can anyone
point me in the right direction in the docs?

Thanks in advance for the help.
