[sane-devel] USB probing

[Major A]

Hi,

I need some help from SANE developers:

Given a device file, how can I determine whether that is a generic
SCSI or a USB scanner device? It seems that when I try to open a USB
device file as a SCSI device and probe with INQUIRY, a USB timeout
will occur. I don't think using a generic SCSI device file with some
random USB scanner protocol is a good idea either.

So, is it possible to decide what interface the file stands for, or do
I have to judge from the filename (example: "usb:/dev/scanner")?

Thanks,

  Andras
