# This program attempts to grab a single frame of video from the system's
# video capture card, and then load it on to the root window using the
# "xscreensaver-getimage-file" program. Various frame-grabbing programs
# are known, and the first one found is used.
#
# The various xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images ("slidescreen",
# "jigsaw", etc.) get the image to manipulate by running the
# "xscreensaver-getimage" program.
#
# The various screen savers invoke "xscreensaver-getimage", which will in
# turn invoke this program, depending on the value of the "grabVideoFrames"
# setting in the ~/.xscreensaver file (or in the app-defaults file, usually
# /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver).
#
# Created: 13-Apr-2001.
