NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-video - grab a video still frame for use by screen savers
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage-video
[--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
The
xscreensaver-getimage-video program is a helper program
for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it
is invoked by
xscreensaver-getimage(6x)
as needed.
It grabs a single frame of video from the system's video input to a file,
and prints the name of that file on stdout. It does this by figuring out
which frame-grabbing programs are installed on the system, and invoking the
first one it finds.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-getimage-video
accepts the following options:
- --verbose
-
Print diagnostics.
