NAME
mcamera - machine dependent camera support
SYNOPSIS
include "mcamera.m";
mcamera := load Mcamera Mcamera->PATH;
init: fn(): string;
takejpg: fn(): (array of byte, int);
DESCRIPTION
The function init initializes the module. Call it first.
Takejpg takes a photograph using the host system (e.g.
apple's isight). First of all, it checks if the required
mechanisms are installed in the host system. It returns an
array of bytes containing a JPEG image. The size of the
image is 640x480. It also returns the number of bytes in the
array.
This is a host-dependent module. Refer to the source section
to see the supported platforms. The file server camera(4)
uses this module.

BUGS
Only for MacOSX. MacOSX version actually uses a command
named isightcapture, that should be installed in the host
system, in a directory included in the host's $PATH (e.g
/usr/bin). This command can be downloaded from
http://www.intergalactic.de. An Inferno driver should be
developed.
