[QGIS-Developer] QGIS equivalent of Turf/nearest-point function

[Pankajeshwara Sharma]

Hello,

These QGIS features need to be invoked manually, and I was hoping that
these functions (or a similar one) could somehow be called using a Python
script from within QGIS. Maybe someone with knowledge of QGIS internal
functions can give advice on how these functions can be called.

Yours sincerely,
Pankaj
