23
24 The ''xscreensaver-getimage-video'' program is a helper
25 program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images.
26 Specifically, it is invoked by
5 perry 27 xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed. This is not a
1 perry 28 user-level command.

31 This program grabs a random frame of video from the system's
32 video input, and then loads it on the root window. It does
33 this by figuring out which frame-grabbing programs are
34 installed on the system, and invoking the first one it
5 perry 35 finds. Then it runs xscreensaver-getimage-file(1) to
1 perry 36 load that image onto the root window.
