NAME
camera – camera file system

SYNOPSIS
o/camera [ –d –m mnt ] ...

DESCRIPTION
Camera serves a directory with a ctl file. When this file is open, the driver takes a photograph. You can get this photograph reading from the ctl file. When the file is clunk, the photograph is discarded. The format of the image is JPEG and its resolution is 640x480.

This file server uses the host–dependent module mcamera(2) to actually take the photograph in the host system.

By default, camera speaks Styx using the standard input, for use with mount(1). Flag –m can be used to ask camera to mount itself at mnt.Flag –b activates debug messages printing through stderr.

BUGS
The ctl file should be exclusive–open to avoid races.
