PCL_OPENNI_SAVE_IMAGE(1)

💖 PCL_OPENNI_SAVE_IMAGE — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is pcl_openni_save_image, a User Commands joint living in section 1 of the manual. the title up top says PCL_OPENNI_SAVE_IMAGE(1) and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pcl_openni_save_image — literally just pcl_openni_save_image. no notes, that's the whole name, periodt. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's the whole vibe, laid out exactly how the tool wants it:

usage: pcl_openni_save_image [((<device_id> | <path-to-oni-file>)
[-imagemode <mode>] | -l [<device_id>]| -h | --help)]
pcl_openni_save_image -h | --help : shows this help
pcl_openni_save_image -l : list all available devices
pcl_openni_save_image -l <device-id> : list all available modes for
specified device

okay so breaking that down, because the usage line is giving cryptic queen and we deserve clarity:

• pcl_openni_save_image -h or pcl_openni_save_image --help — shows this help. that's it, that's the whole job. 💖
• pcl_openni_save_image -l — lists all available devices. window shopping, no commitment.
• pcl_openni_save_image -l <device-id> — lists all available modes for the specified device. now we're getting specific about it.
• -imagemode <mode> — you can pass this alongside a <device_id> or <path-to-oni-file> to pick your image mode. no cap.

now, about <device_id> — the way that this works is lowkey flexible and i'm obsessed:

device_id may be #1, #2, ... for the first, second etc device in the list, or bus@address for the device connected to a specific usb-bus / address combination, or <serial-number>. three flavors, all valid, pick your fighter ✨

🦋 EXAMPLES (the part you actually came for) 🦋

example one — pcl_openni_save_image "#1"

uses the first device. simple, clean, main character energy.

example two — pcl_openni_save_image "./temp/test.oni"

uses the oni-player device to play back oni file given by path. yes bestie, you can just replay a file, no hardware required.

example three — pcl_openni_save_image -l

lists all available devices. go off, see what's plugged in.

example four — pcl_openni_save_image -l "#2"

lists all available modes for the second device. second device gets its moment 💅

example five — pcl_openni_save_image A00361800903049A

uses the device with the serial number 'A00361800903049A'. yes, that exact serial number, character for character, do not come for me.

example six — pcl_openni_save_image 1@16

uses the device on address 16 at USB bus 1. bus 1, address 16, that's the whole address situation.
