sane-find-scanner - find SCSI scanners and their device
files
SYNOPSIS
sane-find-scanner [-h|-?] [-v] [devname]
DESCRIPTION
sane-find-scanner is a command-line tool to find SCSI
scanners and determine their Unix device files. It's part
of the sane-backends package. It checks the default
generic SCSI devices, e.g. /dev/sg? for Linux. Also
/dev/scanner is checked. The test is done by sending a
SCSI inquiry command and looking for a device type of
"scanner" or "processor" (some old HP scanners seem to
send "processor"). So sane-find-scanner will find any SCSI
scanner even if it isn't supported by any SANE backend. It
won't find parallel port, USB, or other non-SCSI scanners.
OPTIONS
-h, -? Prints a short usage message.
-v Verbose output. Show every device name and the
test result.
devname Test device file "devname". No other devices are
checked if devname is given.
EXAMPLE
sane-find-scanner -v
Check all SCSI devices for available scanners and print a
line for every device file.
sane-find-scanner /dev/scanner
Look for a scanner (only) at /dev/scanner and print the
result.
