Example:

#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>

OSStatus QuitApplication(char *bundleID) {
    AppleEvent evt, res;
    OSStatus err;

    err = AEBuildAppleEvent(kCoreEventClass, kAEQuitApplication,
                            typeApplicationBundleID,
                            bundleID, strlen(bundleID),
                            kAutoGenerateReturnID,
                            kAnyTransactionID,
                            &evt, NULL, "");
    if (err == noErr) {
        err = AESendMessage(&evt, &res, kAENoReply, kAEDefaultTimeout);
        AEDisposeDesc(&evt);
    }
    return err;
}

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    return QuitApplication("com.apple.itunes");
}


For anything more complex, use a high-level bridge (e.g. see my sig).
