This library gives access to the webcam, and allows one to capture the video stream. An example of how to use this library can be found in the examples directory.

An error such as `Access` might be due to the program not having read/write access to the usb device. You can grant access to all users by changing the device permissions, for example with

```
chmod 0666 /dev/bus/usb/{BUS}/{DEVICE}
```

where BUS and DEVICE can be found with `lsusb` or by running the `mirror` example.
