libgphoto2 - cross-platform digital camera library
Contents
Description
The gphoto2 library provides applications with access to a variety of cameras.
This man page will be extended with autogenerated documentation of the interface types and methods used
for communication between the gphoto2 library and a frontend.
Environment Variables
CAMLIBS
If set, defines the directory where the libgphoto2 library looks for its camera drivers (camlibs).
You only need to set this on Windows systems and broken/test installations.
IOLIBS If set, defines the directory where the libgphoto2_port library looks for its I/O drivers
(iolibs). You only need to set this on Windows systems and broken/test installations.
LD_DEBUG
Set this to all to receive lots of debug information regarding library loading on ld based
systems.
USB_DEBUG
If set, defines the numeric debug level with which the libusb library will print messages. In
order to get some debug output, set it to 1.
Files
~/.gphoto/settings
Here gphoto2 applications may store their configuration used to access gphoto2.
To track down errors, you can add the --debug parameter to the gphoto2 command line and, if dealing with
USB problems, setting the environment variable USB_DEBUG=1.
