Support for the IS-410 and IS-430 is untested. Please contact the +maintainer or the sane\-devel mailing list if you own such a scanner. +.PP +This backend is alpha-quality. It may have bugs and some scanners haven't been +tested at all. Be careful and pull the plug if the scanner causes unusual +noise. + +.SH "DEVICE NAMES" +This backend expects device names of the form: +.PP +.RS +.I special +.RE +.PP +Where +.I special +is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI +scanner. The program +.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1) +helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name could be +.I /dev/sg0 +or +.IR /dev/sga , +for example. See +.BR sane\-scsi (5) +for details. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +The contents of the +.I ibm.conf +file is a list of device names that correspond to SCSI +scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are +ignored. See +.BR sane\-scsi (5) +on details of what constitutes a valid device name. + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I /etc/sane.d/ibm.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-ibm.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-ibm.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. 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). +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_IBM +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. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR sane (7), +.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1), +.BR sane\-scsi (5), + +.SH AUTHOR +mf +.RI < massifr@tiscalinet.it > +.br +Maintained by Henning Meier-Geinitz +.RI < henning@meier\-geinitz.de > |
