We can figure this out easily, don't worry about these small details.

When I developed the other drivers, I usually started off by writing C 
applications to perform image capture and save a PGM file to disk. This 
is an easy development environment where you don't have to worry about 
those details.

Once you've got this far, converting it to a libfprint driver won't take 
long.
