<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Sun, 11 Apr 1999 22:44:52 +0200, Petter Reinholdtsen &lt;<a href="mailto:pere@hungry.com">pere@hungry.com</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Petter&gt; The dll backend is checking for status != SANE_STATUS_GOOD<br>
Petter&gt; before accepting the backend.<br>
<p>
Oops, you're right.<br>
<p>
Petter&gt; I'm not sure if any backends actually is using this, but I<br>
Petter&gt; beleave there should be a way for the backend to say "don't<br>
Petter&gt; use me", and that sane_init therefore should return<br>
Petter&gt; SANE_Status.<br>
<p>
That's fine, but the backend must not rely on not being called anymore<br>
after returning a status other than SANE_STATUS_GOOD in sane_init().<br>
<p>
Petter&gt; I suggest SANE_STATUS_GOOD if all is OK, and<br>
Petter&gt; SANE_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED if the backend beleave itself to be<br>
Petter&gt; useless.<br>
<p>
I think the these status codes are potentially useful to return in<br>
sane_init:<br>
<p>
SANE_STATUS_GOOD<br>
SANE_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED<br>
SANE_STATUS_NO_MEM<br>
SANE_STATUS_IO_ERROR<br>
SANE_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED<br>
