Hi,

<EM>&gt; While we are updating the SANE specification, parhaps it is time to

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; SANE_STATUS_GOOD is clear, but what about the other values. Is it OK
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to call any of the other sane_* functions if sane_init() failed?
</EM><BR>
<P>I think that's just undefined. We shouldn't change the current
<BR>
behaviour, just document it. In SANE 2 we can disallow calls to other
<BR>
SANE functions when the result of sane_init() is !SANE_STATUS_GOOD.
<BR>
<P>This is from the old thread and copied from other parts of the standard:
<BR>
<P>4.3.1 sane_init
<BR>
This function must be called before any other SANE function can be
<BR>
called. The behavior of a SANE backend is undefined if this function
<BR>
is not called first, or if the returned status is anything other then
<BR>
SANE_STATUS_GOOD.
<BR>
<P>[...] The returned strings must be ASCII-NUL terminated.
<BR>
<P>This function may fail with one of the following status codes.
<BR>
<P>SANE_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;The operation is not supported for the current configuration.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;number.
<BR>
SANE_STATUS_NO_MEM:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;An insufficent amount of memory is available.
<BR>
<P>More?
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
