fopen, fwrite, fclose they have man pages.

you might also want to write a pnm header to it first, but you can do
that afterwards with a good editor like vim.

wow, that does look simple. the only problem i see from sane side is
that it uses multiple interrupt endpoints. the sanei_usb support lib
might need some updates to support that.
