1	/* Simple Video4Linux image grabber. */
2	/*
3	 *	Video4Linux Driver Test/Example Framegrabbing Program
4	 *
5	 *	Compile with:
6	 *		gcc -s -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes v4lgrab.c -o v4lgrab
7	 *	Use as:
8	 *		v4lgrab >image.ppm
9	 *
10	 *	Copyright (C) 1998-05-03, Phil Blundell <philb@gnu.org>
11	 *	Copied from http://www.tazenda.demon.co.uk/phil/vgrabber.c
12	 *	with minor modifications (Dave Forrest, drf5n@virginia.edu).
13	 *
14	 *
15	 *	For some cameras you may need to pre-load libv4l to perform
16	 *	the necessary decompression, e.g.:
17	 *
18	 *	export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
19	 *	./v4lgrab >image.ppm
20	 *
