Function Documentation
| int camera_abilities | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list | ) |
Get a list of abilities of all supported cameras.
- Parameters
-
list a CameraAbilitiesList
This function should use gp_abilities_list_append as many times as the number of models the camera driver supports. That is, fill out (in a loop) the CameraAbilities for each model and append each of those to the supplied list using gp_abilities_list_append(). Then, return GP_OK.
- Returns
- a gphoto2 error code
| int camera_id | ( | CameraText * | id | ) |
Get a unique camera id.
- Parameters
-
id a CameraText that receives the id string
This function should write a unique id into id and return GP_OK. That is, choose a unique id, use strncpy in order to copy it into the id, and return GP_OK. The driver name should suffice.
- Returns
- a gphoto2 error code
| int camera_init | ( | Camera * | camera | ) |
Initialize the camera.
- Parameters
-
camera a Camera
This is the most interesting function in your library. Here, you tell gphoto2 what operations your camera supports and you try to connect to the camera. That is, access camera->functions directly and set them to your implementation (if you have any). Then, tell the CameraFilesystem (available in #camera->fs) how to retrieve lists (gp_filesystem_set_list_funcs()), how to retrieve or set file information (gp_filesystem_set_info_funcs()), how to get or delete files (gp_filesystem_set_file_funcs()), or how to put files or delete all files in a folder (#gp_filesystem_set_folder_funcs). After that, configure the port (#camera->port) which is already opened by gphoto2. You just have to call gp_port_settings_get(), adjust the settings, call gp_port_settings_set(), and try to write to and read from the port. If the camera responds, return GP_OK. If not, return some meaningful error code.
- Returns
- a gphoto2 error code
