What do you need that output for ?
Please note, that frontends (I'd consider your program as something like
that) should not try to "detect" some scanner or its options due to the
options it exhibits.
An exception to it is the usage of predefined options defined in some SANE
file.
BTW: It looks like you are trying to make a wrapper for scanimage ...
Well - this is the quick way, but I think a cleaner way would be to make
the program a "real" frontend.
