So, if you have three applications -and four devices, traditionally you'd have had to write 12 different -programs. With SANE, this number is reduced to seven: the three -applications plus the four drivers. Of course, the savings get even -bigger as more and more drivers and/or applications are added. - -sane-backends contains documentation, several backends, scanimage -command line frontend, and networking support. For other/graphical -frontends take a look at sane-frontends and/or xsane. +This package contains the SANE libraries (this means backends and +network scanning parts) and the command line frontend scanimage.
