% qcamshot [devname]
Write captured image on standard output. The image format is PPM.
for Example.
% qcamshot > output.ppm
b) Command line options.
[devname] specify ugen device name. ex. /dev/ugen0.00
If no device file is specified, the program will cycle through the
/dev/ugen0, /dev/ugen1, ... devices until it finds an attached target camera.
3.2. qcamview
a) Usage
% qcamview [devname]
b) Command line options.
[devname] specify ugen device name. ex. /dev/ugen0.00

Problems and Questions and Todo:
a) Those programs are not device driver.
b) Those programs needs local-extended ugen(4). This extend is checksum function.
It's no good hack very much, but I have no idea to checksum against raw isoc-packets.
TODO: To create a new device driver for device that uses isochronous transfer with checksum.
