scanshop [options]
Without graphical user interface:
sshop_cli [options]
ScanShop options may be specified in any order in any or all of the following
ways (in decreasing priority):
• On the command line,
• In an ifs settings file
• In the user’s .scanshoprc file.
Only the first three letters of options are matched. The values assigned to options
are either numbers, filenames, or dimensions. Native units for dimensions are
“twelfths” (1/1200 inch), but a suffix beginning with letter
m, i, t, or p indicates
millimeters, inches, twelfths or pixels respectively.
Unless indicated otherwise, options that are not specified default to “0”.
The individual options are described below:
-help
Print a screen of help text about CLI options to the standard output.
-v
Prints the version number of the application and of the Vividata vvsc
SCSI driver if it is installed.
-id=[SCSI, GPIB]:[BUS #]:id
Select the scanner at id, if multiple scanners are present. For example,
to select a SCSI scanner at ID 3 on BUS 0, use the following option:
-id=SCSI:0:3
-ifs=filename
Read ScanShop settings from filename, prior to processing settings
from the command line (this is so command-line definitions will
override file-based settings). ScanShop settings files may contain any
number of ascii lines with “option value” pairs separated by a tab or
space. Comments to be ignored are introduced by “
#” and continue up
to a newline.
-ofs=filename
Write latest ScanShop settings to filename, just before exiting.
