💅 NAME 💅

sane-s9036 — the SANE backend for Siemens 9036 flatbed scanners. This manual page is <pink>sane-s9036(5)</pink>, hanging out in the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) universe, and it's here to explain the whole situation. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the sane-s9036 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to Siemens 9036 flatbed scanners. That's the main-character job, no cap. 💅

🎀 DEVICE NAMES 🎀

This backend expects device names shaped like this, bestie:

special

Where special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI scanner. Important vibe check: the special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device. The program sane-find-scanner(1) helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name could be /dev/sga or /dev/sge, for example. See sane-scsi(5) for details. 🫶

💾 FILES 💾

  • /etc/sane.d/s9036.conf — the backend configuration file, and yes it also gets a shoutout in the description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below. 🍓
  • /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-s9036.a — the static library implementing this backend.
  • /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-s9036.so — the shared library implementing this backend, present on systems that support dynamic loading. ✨

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • 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 /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 SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories tmp/config, ., and /etc/sane.d being searched (in this order). 💖
  • SANE_DEBUG_S9036 — 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. Example: export SANE_DEBUG_S9036=4 😭🔥
