How to import files and analyze it in Ghidra using a python script?

Question

I want to write a script which imports an exe file, analyzes it, extracts some features and saves it using python.
The part which I am not able to understand is, how to import a file from the script itself. I do not want to use the askFile function and i do not want to use the headleassAnalyzer.
Are there any functions which let me do this from the script itself?

In order to run a script in Ghidra you can run the following:

analyzeHeadless <project_location> <project_name> -import <path/to/file> -scriptPath <path/to/scripts> -preScript <preScript_name> <preScript_params> -postScript <postScript_name> <postScript_params>

analyzeHeadless is the Ghidra GUI-less executable script.

You can specify postScript, preScript, or both of them.

From the script itself, you can reference your program with currentProgram variable.
