It allows +scanning invidual images and can be invoked directly from the command-line. + +.B xcam +acts as a stand-alone program that saves acquired images in a suitable +PNM format (PBM for black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, +and PPM for color images). + +.B xcam +accesses image acquisition devices through the SANE (Scanner Access +Now Easy) interface. The list of available devices depends on +installed hardware and configuration. + +.B xcam +presents a menu listing of all known and available devices. + +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +If the +.B --Buffer (-B) +option is given, +.B xcam +will use a 1024 kByte input buffer instead of the default 32 kByte. +.PP +If the +.B --version (-V) +option is given, +.B xcam +will output its version number. +.PP +The +.B --help (-h) +.B xcam +flag prints a short summary of options. +.PP +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_XCAM +This environment variable controls the debug level xscanimage.

Instead, the user should use the +.B xcam +interface to select appropriate values and then save the device +settings using the "Preferences->Save as default settings" menubar entry. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +sane(7), xscanimage(1), scanimage(1), sane\-dll(5) and the backend manpages +.SH AUTHOR +David Mosberger-Tang + +Gerard Klaver (2005 update) -- cgit v1.2.3
