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
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.
