<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
sane-qcam - SANE backend for Connectix QuickCam cameras
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <B>sane-qcam</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) back-
end that provides access Connectix QuickCam cameras.
</PRE>
<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
This backend expects device names of the form:
<I>port</I>
where <I>port</I> is the I/O port address at which the device resides. This
address is normally specified in hexadecimal using C syntax (e.g.,
0x37b) and may be prefixed with the letter "u" (e.g., u0x37b) to force
the backend to access the camera in uni-directional mode.
</PRE>
<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
The contents of the <I>qcam.conf</I> file is a list port addresses that may be
connected to a Connectix QuickCam. Empty lines and everything starting
from a hash mark (#) up to the end of a line are ignored. A sample
configuration file is shown below:
0x37b # /dev/lp0
0x378 # /dev/lp1
u0x278 # /dev/lp2 forced in uni-directional mode
0x3bc # /dev/lp0 (alternate address)
In general, it is safest to list only the port addresses that really
correspond to a QuickCam. For example, if one of the listed addresses
actually connect to a printer, then starting up this backend will cause
the printer to perform a device reset (which is generally undesirable).
</PRE>
<H2>FILES</H2><PRE>
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d/qcam.conf</I>
The backend configuration file (see also description of
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> below).
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-qcam.a</I>
The static library implementing this backend.
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-qcam.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. On *NIX systems, the direc-
tories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are sep-
arated by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the
configuration file is searched in two default directories:
first, the current working directory (".") and then in
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d</I>. 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 <I>tmp/config</I>, <I>.</I>, and
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d</I> being searched (in this order).
<B>SANE_DEBUG_QCAM</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>
Support is currently limited to the color version of the QuickCam. The
black-and-white camera is starting to work too, but I don't believe it
works in all cases yet. Reportedly, acquiring images of certain sizes
work fine, but others result in shifted images (sounds like a problem
due to byte-padding).
The program needs root-privileges since it needs to be able to access
the camera's I/O ports.
