sane-pnm -- SANE PNM image reader pseudo-backend

Description

sane-pnm implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to PNM (Portable aNyMap files, which covers PBM bitmap files, PGM grayscale files, and PPM pixmap files). The purpose of this backend is primarily to aid in debugging of SANE frontends. It also serves as an illustrative example of a minimal SANE backend.

This backend provides two devices called 0 and 1.

No configuration is required.

The SANE_DEBUG_PNM environment variable controls the debug level for this backend if the library was compiled with debug support enabled. For example, a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
