For newer Linux + kernels, you may need to use udev instead. Please read the README file + in this directory for instructions. + + hotplug-ng/: + Linux hotplug-ng script and an automatically generated config file + (libsane.db) used to change the permissions on the libusb "device nodes" + in /proc/bus/usb/ when a scanner is plugged in. For newer Linux kernels, + you may need to use udev instead. Please read the README file in this + directory for instructions. + + udev/: + Contains a automatically generated udev rules file. udev now replaces + hotplug and provides all the functionalities of hotplug. libusb 0.1.12 + or newer is necessary. + + openbsd/: + Contains example scripts for hotplugd(8) for USB scanners accessed via + libusb. + + sane-find-scanner: + Attempts to find a SCSI scanner attached to your system. + Invoke with "sane-find-scanner -h" to get command-line + syntax. More details can be found in the man page + sane-find-scanner(1). + + xerox: + A simple script to make photocopies ("xeroxing"). In + the script, you may need to adjust the device name + assigned to variable DEV and the resolution assigned + to variable RES as well as the paper with and height + (variables WIDTH and HEIGHT, respectively. + + mustek600iin-off: + Allows you to turn off a Mustek 600 II N scanner. + Use "make mustek600iin-off" to compile. + + umax_pp: + Command line utility to scan on UMAX astra 1220P, + 1600P and 2000P, without using the backend. So that + scanner protocol can be tested directly. + + gamma4scanimage: Creates a gamma table in the format expected by scanimage. + You can define a gamma value, shadow and highlight. + Take a look at manual page gamma4scanimage for further information. + + RenSaneDlls.cmd: Convert backend-DLL-filenames according to 8.3 naming + convention necessary for DLLs on OS/2. + +Maybe useful for SANE developers: + + sane-config: + Show SANE version, linker flags etc. Might be useful for + frontend developers. + + sane-desc: + Generate SANE webpages (and ASCII lists) from backend .desc files. + Run "sane-desc --help" for details. The default lists are generated + in doc/Makefile. + + check-po.awk: + Print untranslated and fuzzy messages and their line numbers in the + source code and po file. Example: + cd po/ ; ../tools/check-po.awk sane-backends.de.po + You may need to adjust the path of awk in the first line of the + script. More documentation is in the script itself. + |
