Hi,
this is a draft of a manual page for sane. It can be read with
"nroff -man sane.man|less" (at least on my GNU/Linux system).
It's purpose:
* Short summary about SANE
* Where to find more information on various aspects of SANE
* Solutions to frequent problems
Everything concerning installation will stay in README.
Please check the man page. Any spelling mistakes? Something that can
be said in clearer words? A Phrase that wouldn't be used in English
(I'm German :-)) Anything missing? Backend maintainers may want to
update their entries in this man page.
I wasn't sure if I should add the SANE API calls but I think that
wouldn't help because a programmer must read the standard in any case and
it would make the man page even longer.
What about the chapter for such a kind of man page? The backends are
in 5, probably because of their configuration files. Maybe 3? But no
library call is named in the manual page.
Bye,
Henning
