|
|
|
|
The <B>sane-v4l</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) back‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
end that provides generic access to video cameras and similar equipment
|
|
|
|
|
|
using the V4L (Video for Linux) API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
This backend expects device names of the form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<I>special</I>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Where <I>special</I> is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corre‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
sponds 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</I> or <I>/dev/bttv0</I>.

The contents of the <I>v4l.conf</I> file is a list of device names that corre‐

spond to v4l devices. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark

(#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:

<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B>
|
|
|
|
|
|
This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
|
|
|
|
|
|
may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
|
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
|
|
|
|
|
|
by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
|
2017-05-22 22:39:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
current working directory (".") and then in
|
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/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 directo‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
ries. For example, setting <B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> to "/tmp/config:"
|
|
|
|
|
|
would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
|
|
|
|
|
|
"/usr/local/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_DEBUG_V4L</B>
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
