[SOLVED] Looking for a program which can handle QR-Code

Hello together,

I'm searching for a Linuxprogram which can decode QR-Code. For Windows there is "bctester", but for Linux I only found a Python-module.

QR-Code is kind of a barcode in two dimensions.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks in advance.

Markus

Hello gb2312,

thank you very much

, I've compiled the program for Slackware, it works!

It is exactly what I was looking for. And moreover it can scan codes with the webcam.
