SIMPLE-SCAN(1)
โจ NAME โจ
simple-scan โ the Scanning utility, bestie ๐ (and yeah, the whole manual you're holding is called SIMPLE-SCAN, section 1, from the General Commands Manual, so you're in exactly the right place ๐ซถ)
๐ธ SYNOPSIS ๐ธ
simple-scan [DEVICE]
๐ฆ DESCRIPTION ๐ฆ
Okay so, real talk, this page is just the quick little rundown of the simple-scan command. That's it, that's the assignment ๐
Document Scanner is an easy-to-use application, and its whole thing is letting you connect your scanner and immediately have the image or document sitting there in an appropriate format. No side quests, no drama, just scan and go โจ
It was written with GTK+ libraries, and once you've installed the application you can run it straight from the Applications menu. Iconic behaviour, honestly ๐
๐ OPTIONS ๐
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
-d,--debugโ Print debugging messages. (Yes, all the little messages. Spill the tea, program โ)-v,--versionโ Show release version.-?,--helpโ Show help options.--help-allโ Show all the help options. The whole menu, the full course ๐-d,--help-gtkโ Show GTK+ options.
Not me noticing that-dshows up twice in the option list up there โ once for--debugand once for--help-gtk. That's literally what the page says, so I'm not touching it. It's giving โจmysteryโจ and I respect it ๐
