Preface
|
|||
|
=======
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The SANE standard is being developed by a group of free-software
|
|||
|
developers. The process is open to the public and comments as well as
|
|||
|
suggestions for improvements are welcome. Information on how to join the
|
|||
|
SANE development process can be found in Chapter
|
|||
|
:numref:`chap:contact`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The SANE standard is intended to streamline software development by
|
|||
|
providing a standard application programming interface to access raster
|
|||
|
scanner hardware. This should reduce the number of different driver
|
|||
|
implementations, thereby reducing the need for reimplementing similar
|
|||
|
code.

About This Document
|
|||
|
-------------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This document is intended for developers who are creating either an
|
|||
|
application that requires access to raster scanner hardware and for
|
|||
|
developers who are implementing a SANE driver. It does not cover
|
|||
|
specific implementations of SANE components. Its sole purpose is to
|
|||
|
describe and define the SANE application interface that will enable any
|
|||
|
application on any platform to interoperate with any SANE backend for
|
|||
|
that platform.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The remainder of this document is organized as follows.
|
|||
|
Chapter :numref:`chap:intro` provides introductional material.
|
|||
|
Chapter :numref:`chap:environ` presents the environment SANE is
|
|||
|
designed for. Chapter :numref:`chap:api` details the SANE
|
|||
|
Application Programmer Interface. Chapter :numref:`chap:net`
|
|||
|
specifies the network protocol that can be used to implement the SANE
|
|||
|
API in a network transparent fashion. Finally,
|
|||
|
Chapter :numref:`chap:contact` gives information on how to join
|
|||
|
the SANE development process.
