💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, sane-tamarack is the SANE backend for Tamarack flatbed scanners — and it's from the SANE Scanner Access Now Easy side of town 💫

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the sane-tamarack library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that gives you access to these Tamarack flatbed scanners, no cap:

• Artiscan 6000C
• Artiscan 8000C
• Artiscan 12000C

📟 DEVICE NAMES 🦋

This backend expects device names of the form:

special

Where special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI scanner. 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 🍓

These are the literal files involved, no cap:

• /etc/sane.d/tamarack.conf — the backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
• /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-tamarack.a — the static library implementing this backend.
• /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-tamarack.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_TAMARACK — 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, bestie:

export SANE_DEBUG_TAMARACK=4
