/* Simple Video4Linux image grabber. */
/*
 *	Video4Linux Driver Test/Example Framegrabbing Program
 *
 *	Compile with:
 *		gcc -s -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes v4lgrab.c -o v4lgrab
 *	Use as:
 *		v4lgrab >image.ppm
 *
 *	Copyright (C) 1998-05-03, Phil Blundell <philb@gnu.org>
 *	Copied from http://www.tazenda.demon.co.uk/phil/vgrabber.c

 *
 *
 *	For some cameras you may need to pre-load libv4l to perform
 *	the necessary decompression, e.g.:
 *
 *	export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
 *	./v4lgrab >image.ppm
