+# camera_linux
+
+Camera Linux is a Flutter FFI plugin designed specifically for the Linux platform. This plugin allows Flutter developers to access and capture images from the Linux camera, seamlessly integrating native code invocation using Dart's FFI.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Dart FFI Integration: Built on top of Flutter's FFI (Foreign Function Interface) to directly invoke native functions.
+Platform-Specific: Tailored for Linux, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.
+Easy Access to Camera: Provides straightforward functions to capture images directly from the Linux camera.
+
+## Project structure
+
+This template uses the following structure:
+
+* `src`: Contains the native source code, and a CmakeFile.txt file for building
+  that source code into a dynamic library.
+
+* `lib`: Contains the Dart code that defines the API of the plugin, and which
+  calls into the native code using `dart:ffi`.
+
+* platform folder (`linux`): Contains the build files
+  for building and bundling the native code library with the platform application.
+
+## Building and bundling native code
+
+The `pubspec.yaml` specifies FFI plugins as follows:
+
+```yaml
+  plugin:
+    platforms:
+      some_platform:
+        ffiPlugin: true
+```
+
+This configuration invokes the native build for the various target platforms
+and bundles the binaries in Flutter applications using these FFI plugins.
+
+This can be combined with dartPluginClass, such as when FFI is used for the
+implementation of one platform in a federated plugin:
+
+```yaml
+  plugin:
+    implements: some_other_plugin
+    platforms:
+      some_platform:
+        dartPluginClass: SomeClass
+        ffiPlugin: true
+```
+
+A plugin can have both FFI and method channels:
+
+```yaml
+  plugin:
+    platforms:
+      some_platform:
+        pluginClass: SomeName
+        ffiPlugin: true
+```
+
+The native build systems that are invoked by FFI (and method channel) plugin is:
+
+* For Linux and Windows: CMake.
+  * See the documentation in linux/CMakeLists.txt.
+  * See the documentation in windows/CMakeLists.txt.
+
+## Binding to native code
+
+Instead of manually writing the Dart bindings to native code, they are auto-generated from the header file (src/camera_linux.h) using the package:ffigen. To refresh these bindings, execute:
+
+`flutter pub run ffigen --config ffigen.yaml`
+
+## Invoking native code
+
+Very short-running native functions can be directly invoked from any isolate.
+For example, see `sum` in `lib/camera_linux.dart`.
+
+Longer-running functions should be invoked on a helper isolate to avoid
+dropping frames in Flutter applications.
+For example, see `sumAsync` in `lib/camera_linux.dart`.
+
+## Getting Started with the Plugin
+
+Add the camera_linux plugin to your pubspec.yaml:
+
+```dependencies:
+    camera_linux: ^0.1.0
+```
+
+Execute the following command to fetch the package:
+`flutter pub get`
+
+## Further Assistance
+For comprehensive guidance on Flutter, visit the official documentation, offering tutorials, samples, mobile development insights, and a complete API reference.

+# The following section is specific to Flutter packages.
+flutter:
+  # This section identifies this Flutter project as a plugin project.
+  # The 'pluginClass' specifies the class (in Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, etc.)
+  # which should be registered in the plugin registry. This is required for
+  # using method channels.
+  # The Android 'package' specifies package in which the registered class is.
+  # This is required for using method channels on Android.
+  # The 'ffiPlugin' specifies that native code should be built and bundled.
+  # This is required for using `dart:ffi`.
+  # All these are used by the tooling to maintain consistency when
+  # adding or updating assets for this project.
+  # 
+  # Please refer to README.md for a detailed explanation.
+  plugin:
+    platforms:
+      linux:
+        ffiPlugin: true
+
+  # To add assets to your plugin package, add an assets section, like this:
+  # assets:
+  #   - images/a_dot_burr.jpeg
+  #   - images/a_dot_ham.jpeg
+  #
+  # For details regarding assets in packages, see
+  # https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#from-packages
+  #
+  # An image asset can refer to one or more resolution-specific "variants", see
+  # https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#resolution-aware
+
+  # To add custom fonts to your plugin package, add a fonts section here,
+  # in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a
+  # "family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a
+  # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
+  # example:
+  # fonts:
+  #   - family: Schyler
+  #     fonts:
+  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Regular.ttf
+  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Italic.ttf
+  #         style: italic
+  #   - family: Trajan Pro
+  #     fonts:
+  #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro.ttf
+  #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro_Bold.ttf
