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.
