uvcdynctrl: Get the current control value.
$ uvcdynctrl -g ${control_name}
try on your machine

The command "uvcdynctrl -g ${control_name}" is used to retrieve the current value of a control on a Universal Video Class (UVC) compliant device, such as a webcam or a camera.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "uvcdynctrl" is the name of the command-line tool used to interact with UVC devices.
  • "-g" is a flag indicating that we want to get or retrieve the value of a control.
  • "${control_name}" is a variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the control you want to retrieve the value for. This could be parameters such as brightness, contrast, exposure, or any other available control on the device.

By executing this command, the tool will communicate with the UVC device, query the current value of the specified control, and display it on the command-line interface.
