✨ GRAB_COLOR_IMAGE(1) — the User Commands girlies know 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the grab_color_image era 🎀 this one lives in section 1 of the manual (the User Commands section, aka the "you can just run this" zone), and she is here to snatch exactly one picture off your camera. one. singular. iconic. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

grab_color_image — grab an image using libdc1394 💖

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

grab_color_image [--guid=/dev/video1394/x] [filename.ppm]

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. optional guid, optional filename, go off 👑

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So what she does is: get one image using libdc1394 and store it as a portable pix map (ppm) image. that's the assignment, and she ate, no cap 🔥

one (1) image. not a stream, not a video, not a whole photoshoot. one. main character energy only 📸✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --guid — specifies the camera to use. the default is the first camera found in the system. like if you don't pick, she's just gonna pick for you, and she's picking the first one she sees 🙈
  • --help — print help message. the classic. the goat. when in doubt, ask for help fr fr 🫶
