[sane-devel] On functions

[m. allan noah]

you did not tell us what you are trying to do, make a frontend program or 
a backend driver.

looking at existing code for either one is the best way to start.

sane_init() and sane_open() are provided by the backends for the frontend 
to call separately, so you dont normally see the arrangement you 
described...
