The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a +symlink to such a device. The program +.IR sane\-find\-scanner +helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name +could be +.I /dev/sga +or +.IR /dev/sge , +for example. See sane\-scsi(5) for details. + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I @CONFIGDIR@/tamarack.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-tamarack.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-tamarack.so +The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may +contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories are +separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a +semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the configuration file +is searched in two default directories: first, the current working +directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@. If the value of the +environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then +the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified +directories. For example, setting +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and +"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order). +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_TAMARACK +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. Higher +debug levels increase the verbosity of the output. + +Example: +export SANE_DEBUG_TAMARACK=4 + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +sane(7), sane\-scsi(5) +.SH AUTHOR +Roger Wolff |
