✨ SCANTPAPER ✨

okay bestie, you're on the section 1 page for scantpaper — that's the User Commands zone, so this is a program you just… run. and obviously i read the whole thing for you 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

scantpaper — a GUI to produce PDFs or DjVus from scanned documents 💅

like, it's a whole graphical situation that takes your scanned pages and turns them into PDF or DjVu files. genuinely iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

usage: scantpaper [-h] [--device DEVICE [DEVICE ...]]
       [--import IMPORT_FILES [IMPORT_FILES ...]]
       [--import-all IMPORT_ALL [IMPORT_ALL ...]] [--locale LOCALE]
       [--log LOG] [--version] [--debug] [--info] [--warn] [--error]
       [--fatal]

the way that square-bracket-party happens… it's giving "everything is optional, you're the main character" 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

A GUI to produce PDFs or DjVus from scanned documents

that's it, that's the whole pitch. scan → paper → pretty files ✨

🎀 options:

✨ help-y ones ✨

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips (exits). classic. 💖

🌈 the rest of them 🌈

quick heads up: the page literally does not describe these ones, so i'm not gonna make anything up — no cap, i will not be inventing behaviour for clout. they go here, exactly as written, in order:

  • --device DEVICE [DEVICE ...]
  • --import IMPORT_FILES [IMPORT_FILES ...]
  • --import-all IMPORT_ALL [IMPORT_ALL ...]
  • --locale LOCALE
  • --log LOG

⭐ version ⭐

  • --version — shows the program's version number and then exits. say hi and bounce. ✨

💜 the log-level squad 💜

these are just vibes at different volumes, listed verbatim:

  • --debug
  • --info
  • --warn
  • --error
  • --fatal
🧚 for more detail, please see /usr/share/doc/C/scantpaper/documentation.html — it's the real lore drop, go read it bestie

🍓 SEE ALSO 🍓

not gonna lie, the original page doesn't have a SEE ALSO section. but it does point you at /usr/share/doc/C/scantpaper/documentation.html for the full story, so hit that up if you want the deep lore 🫶

and that's the whole page, no skips, no lies, every single flag accounted for 😭💅

this beautiful mess is scantpaper 3.0.15, dated August 2026 — thank you for coming to my ted talk, drink some water, and slay 💖✨🌈
