[Graham Stoney]<br>
<i>&gt; After a quick look at the 1.01-pre4 sources, the DC210 backend can</i><br>
<i>&gt; also return SANE_STATUS_INVAL. There may be others...</i><br>
<p>
After reading dc210.c, I seriously beleave that the tests returning<br>
SANE_STATUS_INVAL from sane_init() should be moved to sane_open().<br>
<p>
I beleave a backend should not connect to the device until sane_open()<br>
is called. The DC210 backend opens the serial device, and extract<br>
camera info in sane_init().<br>
<p>
Anyway. I'm now writing a patch to sane 1.0.1 with my suggested<br>
change. I suggest three valid responses from sane_init():<br>
<p>
SANE_STATUS_GOOD - Success<br>
SANE_STATUS_NO_MEM - Ran out of memory<br>
SANE_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED - Not supported on this machines current<br>
configuration<br>
<p>
Would there be need for more return values?<br>
