💖 NAME 💖

bn_camera — the lil program that yeets images from your camera straight to MQTT 🎀📸

Okay so this is the bn_camera User Manual, manual page for bn_camera in section 1, and bestie, it's giving "tiny utility, big main character energy". Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bn_camera [--mode MODE] [--stream-src STREAM_SRC] [--fps FPS]
          [--filepath FILEPATH] [--broker-ip BROKER_IP]
          [--broker-port BROKER_PORT] [--display]

bn_camera [{-h | --help} | {--debug}]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the bn_camera command. Lowkey a whole introduction arc, but short. 💅

So here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. So yes, we made one. You're welcome. 🙈

bn_camera is a program that sends images captured from the camera to MQTT. That's it, that's the whole vibe — camera in, MQTT out. No cap. 🔥

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). A summary of options is included below, and bestie, we're going through all of them, no skipping. 👑

• --mode MODE — the camera creates frame(s) from a stream or from a file. (default: stream)
• --stream-src STREAM_SRC — the camera stream source. It can be a device node ID or an RTSP URL. (default: 0)
• --fps FPS — frames per second, but only in streaming mode. (default: 1)
• --filepath FILEPATH — input image path, used in file mode. (default: empty)
• --broker-ip BROKER_IP — MQTT broker IP. That's the address of the broker, periodt. 📡
• --broker-port BROKER_PORT — MQTT broker port. The door number to go with the address. 🚪
• --display — opens a window and displays the frames that get sent out. Heads up though: this argument is only effective in stream mode. 💀
• -h, --help — show a summary of options. Your classic "wait what does this do again" button. 🫶
• --debug — debug mode toggle. Flip it and you get the extra lore. 🔍
