|
<p>SANE is an application programming interface (API) that provides
|
|
standardized access to any raster image scanner hardware. The
|
|
standardized interface allows to write just one driver for each
|
|
scanner device instead of one driver for each scanner and application.
|
|
The reduction in the number of required drivers provides significant
|
|
savings in development time. More importantly, SANE raises the level
|
|
at which applications can work. As such, it will enable applications
|
|
that were previously unheard of in the UNIX world. While SANE is
|
|
primarily targeted at a UNIX environment, the standard has been
|
|
carefully designed to make it possible to implement the API on
|
|
virtually any hardware or operating system.
|
|
|
|
<p>SANE is an acronym for ``Scanner Access Now Easy.'' Also, the hope is
|
|
that SANE is sane in the sense that it will allow easy implementation
|
|
of the API while accommodating all features required by today's
|
|
scanner hardware and applications. Specifically, SANE should be broad
|
|
enough to accommodate devices such as scanners, digital still and
|
|
video cameras, as well as virtual devices like image file filters.
