Hi,

I've been maintaining the old cpia driver, which supports the
Intel QX3 USB microscope (as well as certain obsolete webcams)

That device has a button which (in the windows driver) (1) if held
pressed,causes a "movie" to be recorded until it is released, or (2) if just
pressed and immediately released, records a single-frame "snapshot".

Right now, all the cpia driver does with the button is to record its
instantaneous state in the /proc/cpia/video<n> interface.

Someone asked on the cpia mailing list about this.    Do these states
"start/stop recording the video stream to a file", or "save 
the current frame to a file" correspond to any appropriate
Video4Linux interface calls that might be easy to add to the driver?

Thanks for any suggestions.
Duncan
