     CAMERA(4)                                               CAMERA(4)

     NAME
          camera - camera file system

     SYNOPSIS
          o/camera [ -d -m mnt ] ...

     DESCRIPTION
          Camera serves a directory with a ctl file. Commands
          (strings) must be written to this file. The take command
          takes a photograph. You can get this photograph reading from
          the ctl file. The format of the image is JPEG and its reso-
          lution 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 print-
          ing through stderr.
