8 --libs Print the additional libraries that are necessary to link a SANE frontend to libsane.
8 --ldflags Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a SANE frontend to libsane.
8 --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a SANE frontend.
8 --prefix Print the prefix used during compilation of libsane.
8 --exec-prefix Print the exec-prefix used during compilation of libsane.
