Public bug reported:
In the output of "fswebcam -h", there is one option called:
-o, --output <filename> Output the log to a file.
However, this option can't be found In the man page of fswebcam, and it's not
working as well.
Base on the manpage, we should use --log to redirect log.
This could be reproduced on Precise and Trusty
