fprintd doesn't seem to be the correct way to go for me.
I don't favour, that it saves the data itself and coupled with an username.

So I did implement it using fp_async_*_start, fp_async_*_stop which
works pretty nicely after I used fp_handle_events_timeout as fprintd does.

Is there a capture-only function respectively are there offline matching
functions?
So someone could capture it's fingerprint (for verification or
identification) at Host-A and match (verify/identify) it on Host-B which
doesn't have a fp-reader (Serverside matching)?

If someone is interessted in testing or any comments to the code:

Backend which includes the c++ code:

Frontend for node-red:

Thanks Vasily for taking the time!
