<P>
While we are updating the SANE specification, parhaps it is time to
<BR>
document the return values for sane_init()?
<BR>
<P>SANE_STATUS_GOOD is clear, but what about the other values. Is it OK
<BR>
to call any of the other sane_* functions if sane_init() failed?
<BR>
<P>The dll backend do not call sane_exit() if sane_init() failed, and I
<BR>
believe this should be documented as the correct behavour.
<BR>
<P>When I proposed this last time (1999, check
<BR>

<BR>
I suggested a patch, but it was never accepted. I suggest looking at
<BR>
it again. :-)
