+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B saned
+is the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) daemon that allows remote clients
+to access image acquisition devices available on the local host.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+.B saned
+recognises the following options:
+
+.TP
+.BR \-a "\fI [username]\fR, " \-\-alone [=\fIusername]\fR
+is equivalent to the combination of
+.B \-l \-D \-u
+.I username
+options. However,
+.I username
+is optional and running user will only be set when specified.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-u "\fI username\fR, " \-\-user =\fIusername\fR
+requests that
+.B saned
+drop root privileges and run as the user (and group) associated with
+.I username
+after binding.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-b "\fI address\fR, " \-\-bind =\fIaddress\fR
+tells
+.B saned
+to bind to the
+.I address
+given.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-p "\fI port\fR, " \-\-port=\fIport\fR
+tells
+.B saned
+to listen on the
+.I port
+given. A value of 0 tells
+.B saned
+to pick an unused port. The default is the
+.B sane-port (6566).
+
+.TP
+.BR \-l ", " \-\-listen
+requests that
+.B saned
+run in standalone daemon mode. In this mode,
+.B saned
+will listen for incoming client connections;
+.BR inetd (8)
+is not required for
+.B saned
+operations in this mode.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-D ", " \-\-daemonize
+will request
+.B saned
+to detach from the console and run in the background.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-o ", " \-\-once
+requests that
+.B saned
+exits after the first client disconnects. This is useful for debugging.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-d "\fI n\fR, " \-\-debug =\fIn\fR
+sets the level of
+.B saned
+debug output to
+.IR n .
+When compiled with debugging enabled, this flag may be
+followed by a number to request more or less debug info. The larger
+the number, the more verbose the debug output. E.g.,
+.B \-d128
+will request output of all debug info. A level of 0 produces no
+output at all. The default value is 2.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-e ", " \-\-stderr
+will divert
+.B saned
+debug output to stderr instead of the syslog default.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
+displays a short help message.
+.PP
+If
+.B saned
+is run from other programs such as
+.BR inetd (8),
+.BR xinetd (8)
+and
+.BR systemd (1),
+check that program's documentation on how to pass command-line options.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+First and foremost:
+.B saned
+is not intended to be exposed to the internet or other non-trusted
+networks. Make sure that access is limited by tcpwrappers and/or a firewall
+setup. Don't depend only on
+.BR saned 's
+own authentication. Don't run
+.B saned
+as root if it's not necessary. And do
+.B not
+install
+.B saned
+as setuid root.
+.PP
+The
+.I saned.conf
+configuration file contains both options for the daemon and the access
+list.
+.TP
+\fBdata_portrange\fP = \fImin_port\fP - \fImax_port\fP
+Specify the port range to use for the data connection. Pick a port
+range between 1024 and 65535; don't pick a too large port range, as it
+may have performance issues. Use this option if your
+.B saned
+server is sitting behind a firewall. If that firewall is a Linux
+machine, we strongly recommend using the Netfilter
+\fInf_conntrack_sane\fP module instead.
+.TP
+\fBdata_connect_timeout\fP = \fItimeout\fP
+Specify the time in milliseconds that
+.B saned
+will wait for a data
+connection. Without this option, if the data connection is not done
+before the scanner reaches the end of scan, the scanner will continue
+to scan past the end and may damage it depending on the
+backend. Specify zero to have the old behavior. The default is 4000ms.
+.PP
+The access list is a list of host names, IP addresses or IP subnets
+(CIDR notation) that are permitted to use local SANE devices. IPv6
+addresses must be enclosed in brackets, and should always be specified
+in their compressed form. Connections from localhost are always
+permitted. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored. A line containing the single character ``+'' is interpreted
+to match any hostname. This allows any remote machine to use your
+scanner and may present a security risk, so this shouldn't be used
+unless you know what you're doing.
+.PP
+A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+# Daemon options
+.br
+data_portrange = 10000 - 10100
+.br
+# Access list
+.br
+scan\-client.somedomain.firm
+.br
+# this is a comment
+.br
+192.168.0.1
+.br
+192.168.2.12/29
+.br
+[::1]
+.br
+[2001:db8:185e::42:12]/64
+.RE
+.PP
+The case of the host names does not matter, so AHost.COM is considered
+identical to ahost.com.
+.SH SERVER DAEMON CONFIGURATION
+For
+.B saned
+to work properly in its default mode of operation, it is also necessary to
+add the appropriate configuration for
+.BR xinetd (8),
+.BR inetd (8)
+or
+.BR systemd (1)
+(see below).
+Note that your
+.BR inetd (8)
+must support IPv6 if you want to connect to
+.B saned
+over IPv6;
+.BR xinetd (8),
+.BR openbsd-inetd (8)
+and
+.BR systemd (1)
+are known to support IPv6, check the documentation for your
+.BR inetd (8)
+daemon.
+.PP
+In the sections below the configuration for
+.BR inetd (8),
+.BR xinetd (8)
+and
+.BR systemd (1)
+are described in more detail.
+.PP
+For the configurations below it is necessary to add a line of the following
+form to
+.IR /etc/services :
+.PP
+.RS
+sane\-port 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon
+.RE
+.PP
+The official IANA short name for port 6566 is "sane\-port". The older name
+"sane" is now deprecated.
+
+.SH INETD CONFIGURATION
+It is required to add a single line to the
+.BR inetd (8)
+configuration file
+.IR (/etc/inetd.conf)
+.
+.PP
+The configuration line normally looks like this:
+.PP
+.RS
+sane\-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/saned saned
+.RE
+.PP
+However, if your system uses
+.BR tcpd (8)
+for additional security screening, you may want to disable
+.B saned
+access control by putting ``+'' in
+.IR saned.conf
+and use a line of the following form in
+.IR /etc/inetd.conf
+instead:
+.PP
+.RS
+sane\-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/saned
+.RE
+.PP
+Note that both examples assume that there is a
+.B saned
+group and a
+.B saned
+user. If you follow this example, please make sure that the
+access permissions on the special device are set such that
+.B saned
+can access the scanner (the program generally needs read and
+write access to scanner devices).
+
+.SH XINETD CONFIGURATION
+If
+.BR xinetd (8)
+is installed on your system instead of
+.BR inetd (8)
+the following example for
+.I /etc/xinetd.conf
+may be helpful:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+# default: off
+# description: The sane server accepts requests
+# for network access to a local scanner via the
+# network.
+service sane\-port
+{
+ port = 6566
+ socket_type = stream
+ wait = no
+ user = saned
+ group = saned
+ server = /usr/sbin/saned
+}
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+
+.SH SYSTEMD CONFIGURATION
+.B saned
+can be compiled with explicit
+.BR systemd (1)
+support. This
+will allow logging debugging information to be forwarded
+to the
+.BR systemd (1)
+journal. The
+.BR systemd (1)
+support requires compilation with the systemd-devel package
+installed on the system. This is the preferred option.
+
+.B saned
+can be used with
+.BR systemd (1)
+without the
+.BR systemd (1)
+integration compiled in, but then logging of debug information is not supported.
+
+The
+.BR systemd (1)
+configuration is different for the 2 options, so both are described below.
+
+.SH Systemd configuration for saned with systemd support compiled in
+For
+.BR systemd (1)
+configuration we need to add 2 configuration files in
+.IR /etc/systemd/system .
+.PP
+The first file we need to add here is called
+.I saned.socket.
+It shall have
+the following contents:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+[Unit]
+Description=saned incoming socket
+
+[Socket]
+ListenStream=6566
+Accept=yes
+MaxConnections=1
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=sockets.target
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.PP
+The second file to be added is
+.I saned@.service
+with the following contents:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+[Unit]
+Description=Scanner Service
+Requires=saned.socket
+
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/saned
+User=saned
+Group=saned
+StandardInput=null
+StandardOutput=syslog
+StandardError=syslog
+Environment=SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/sane.d
+# If you need to debug your configuration uncomment the next line and
+# change it as appropriate to set the desired debug options
+# Environment=SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 SANE_DEBUG_BJNP=5
+
+[Install]
+Also=saned.socket
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.PP
+You need to set an environment variable for
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+pointing to the directory where
+.B saned
+can find its configuration files.
+You will have to remove the # on the last line and set the variables
+for the desired debugging information if required. Multiple variables
+can be set by separating the assignments by spaces as shown in the
+example above.
+.PP
+Unlike
+.BR xinetd (8)
+and
+.BR inetd (8),
+.BR systemd (1)
+allows debugging output from backends set using
+.B SANE_DEBUG_XXX
+to be captured. See the man-page for your backend to see what options
+are supported.
+With the service unit as described above, the debugging output is
+forwarded to the system log.
+
+.SH Systemd configuration when saned is compiled without systemd support
+This configuration will also work when
+.B saned
+is compiled WITH
+.BR systemd (1)
+integration support, but it does not allow debugging information to be logged.
+.PP
+For
+.BR systemd (1)
+configuration for
+.BR saned ,
+we need to add 2 configuration files in
+.IR /etc/systemd/system .
+.PP
+The first file we need to add here is called
+.I saned.socket.
+It is identical to the version for
+.BR systemd (1)
+with the support compiled in.
+It shall have the following contents:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+[Unit]
+Description=saned incoming socket
+
+[Socket]
+ListenStream=6566
+Accept=yes
+MaxConnections=1
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=sockets.target
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.PP
+The second file to be added is
+.IR saned@.service .
+This one differs from the version with
+.BR systemd (1)
+integration compiled in:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+[Unit]
+Description=Scanner Service
+Requires=saned.socket
+
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/saned
+User=saned
+Group=saned
+StandardInput=socket
+
+Environment=SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/sane.d
+
+[Install]
+Also=saned.socket
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.PP
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /etc/hosts.equiv
+The hosts listed in this file are permitted to access all local SANE
+devices. Caveat: this file imposes serious security risks and its use
+is not recommended.
+.TP
+.I /etc/sane.d/saned.conf
+Contains a list of hosts permitted to access local SANE devices (see
+also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I /etc/sane.d/saned.users
+If this file contains lines of the form
+
+user:password:backend
+
+access to the listed backends is restricted. A backend may be listed multiple
+times for different user/password combinations. The server uses MD5 hashing
+if supported by the client.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file. On *NIX systems, 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
+.IR /etc/sane.d .
+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
+.IR tmp/config ,
+.IR . ,
+and
+.I "/etc/sane.d"
+being searched (in this order).
