Hi,
Sorry, should have replied sooner :-/
I've seen the follow-up by Povilas and Allan but think my reply is more
appropriate here.

On my Debian system, I can edit /etc/sane.d/test.conf and change the

This is also documented in the manual page for the test backend.

a query or two about <backend>.conf file
1) do all, most, some backends support such runtime argument
alterations?
Each backend basically does it own thing. There is nothing that tries
to impose any kind of "standard". Some backends use it to tweak their
device detection routines, other to set some defauls and some do a bit
of both.
Your best bet is the sane-BE manual page for each BE backend. Next best
are the comments in the BE.conf file, if any.
# In the sources, you can find them as backend/BE.conf.in.
ok i'll take a look.

humm -- well i don't see any BE.conf (or sane-BE.man) [and did
ignore the case as well] in sane-backends-master-e13b80fa but
gnu grepping around i did find a bunch of *.conf files with
option entries. the general syntax seems to be
'option' <whitespace> 'argument_name_or_id' <whitespace> 'argument_value'
but i'll peruse these to see if there is a usb example i can
use to confirm things.
following up from yesterday it seems the sun sol10 sparc std c lib
does the right thing with strncmp but why isn't the sanei_configure_attach
function entering the inner while loop (around line 305 or so)
/* search for a matching descriptor */
i = 0;
found = SANE_FALSE;
while (config!=NULL && i < config->count && !found)
something is still a-miss somewhere but i'm not seeing it yet.
aloha

Hope this helps,
