SYNOPSIS

9       xscreensaver-getimage-video  [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose]
10       [--stdout]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The xscreensaver-getimage-video program is a  helper  program  for  the
14       xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images.  Specifically, it is invoked
15       by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed.  This is not a  user-level  com‐
16       mand.
17
18       This  program  grabs  a  random  frame of video from the system's video
19       input, and then loads it on the root window.  It does this by  figuring
20       out  which  frame-grabbing  programs  are  installed on the system, and
21       invoking the first one it finds.    Then  it  runs  xscreensaver-getim‐
22       age-file(1) to load that image onto the root window.
23

OPTIONS

25       xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:
26
27       --verbose
28           Print diagnostics.
29
30       --stdout
31           Instead of loading the image onto the root window, write it to std‐
32           out as a PBM file.
