<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
sane-v4l - SANE interface for Video for Linux API
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <B>sane-v4l</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) back
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.
</PRE>
<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
This backend expects device names of the form:
<I>special</I>
Where <I>special</I> is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corre
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>.
</PRE>
<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
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:
/dev/bttv0
# this is a comment
/dev/video3
</PRE>
<H2>FILES</H2><PRE>
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d/v4l.conf</I>
The backend configuration file (see also description of
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> below).
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-v4l.a</I>
The static library implementing this backend.
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-v4l.so</I>
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
that support dynamic loading).
</PRE>
<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
are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config
uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
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.

<H2>BUGS:</H2><PRE>
If more than one video card is present, a crash may occur. Frequency
and geometry selection is missing.
