fpscan
Fingerprint scanner commandline tool for Linux based on libfprint
This project is yet in very early state, but at least partly usable.
Building
fpscan requires libfprint to be installed.
$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure
$ make
Installing
Systemwide fpscan can be installed like this:
$ sudo make install
Usage
fpscan can operate in three modes:
- list available devices
- scan a finger to create a fingerprint file (
-s) - scan a finger and check, whether it matches with data from file (
-c)
By default devices are listed. fpscan --help gives a list of all
available options.
Detect locally available devices like this:
$ fpscan -v
Gives you a list of locally attached and supported fingerprint scanners.
Using
$ fpscan -s -v
a finger is scanned and the data stored to a new fingerprint file. By
default this file is called data.fpm in the local directory.
With
$ fpscan -s -v --image
an additional image file in .pgm format is stored to file data.pgm
in the local directory.
Using
$ fpscan -c -v
a finger is scanned and compared to data in a file. The result is
output on the commandline. By default the finger is compared to data
in local file data.fpm.
Use
$ fpscan --help
to list all supported options.
