Quote from scanimage(1):
DESCRIPTION
scanimage is a command-line interface to control image
acquisition devices such as flatbed scanners or cameras.
The device is controlled via command-line options. After
command-line processing, scanimage normally proceeds to
acquire an image. The image data is written to standard
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
output in one of the PNM (portable aNyMaP) formats (PBM
^^^^^^
for black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, and
PPM for color images). scanimage accesses image acquisi-
tion devices through the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
interface and can thus support any device for which there
exists a SANE backend (try "apropos sane-" to get a list
of available backends).
