+
+    \section1 Description
+
+    Starts a session, communicating via standard input and standard output.
+
+    In this mode, \QBS takes commands from standard input and sends replies
+    to standard output, using a \l{Appendix C: The JSON API}{JSON-based API}.
+
+    This is the recommended \QBS interface for IDEs. It can be used to retrieve
+    information about a project and interact with it in various ways, such
+    as building it, collecting the list of executables, adding new source files
+    and so on.
