SANE ("Scanner Access Now Easy") is a universal scanner interface.
|
|
The value of such a universal interface is that it allows writing
|
|
just one driver per image acquisition device rather than one driver
|
|
for each device and application. So, if you have three applications
|
|
and four devices, traditionally you'd have had to write 12 different
|
|
programs. With SANE, this number is reduced to seven: the three
|
|
applications plus the four drivers. Of course, the savings get even
|
|
bigger as more and more drivers and/or applications are added.
|
|
|
|
sane-backends contains documentation, several backends, scanimage
|
|
command line frontend, and networking support. For other/graphical
|
|
frontends take a look at sane-frontends and/or xsane.
