.IX sane-v4l
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
sane-v4l \- SANE interface for Video for Linux API
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B sane-v4l
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
|
|
provides generic access to video cameras and similar equipment using
|
|
the V4L (Video for Linux) API.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This is ALPHA software. Really! Important features are missing and there are
|
|
lots of bugs. The code is currently only tested on a Linux 2.4 system with a
|
|
Hauppauge WinTV video card.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
|
|
This backend expects device names of the form:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.I special
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Where
|
|
.I special
|
|
is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corresponds to the
|
|
v4l device. The special device name must be a v4l device or a symlink
|
|
to such a device. For example, such a device name could be
|
|
.I /dev/video0
|
|
or
|
|
.IR /dev/bttv0 .
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
The contents of the
|
|
.I v4l.conf
|
|
file is a list of device names that correspond to v4l
|
|
devices. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
|
|
ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
/dev/bttv0

|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I @CONFIGDIR@/v4l.conf
|
|
The backend configuration file (see also description of
|
|
.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
|
|
below).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-v4l.a
|
|
The static library implementing this backend.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-v4l.so
|
|
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
|
|
support dynamic loading).
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
|
|
This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
|
|
contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, 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 @CONFIGDIR@. 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
|
|
.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
|
|
to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
|
|
"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B SANE_DEBUG_V4L
|
|
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
|
|
environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g.,
|
|
a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller
|
|
levels reduce verbosity.

.SH BUGS:
|
|
If more than one video card is present, a crash may occur. Frequency and geometry
|
|
selection is missing.
