Parameter Discussion

sid: valid SESSION_ID.

bufAddr: pointer to a pointer to an area of memory in which to store the image. If bufAddr points to a NULL pointer, this call allocates a buffer, acquires an image, and returns the buffer address in the location specified by bufAddr. If bufAddr points to a non-NULL pointer, this function acquires into that buffer.

waitForNext: if zero, the function returns the most recently acquired image. If non-zero, the function waits for and returns the next acquired image.

Return Value

This function returns 0 on success. On failure, this function returns an error code. For more information about the error code, call imgShowError.
