[sane-devel] Calculating maxlen

[Oliver Rauch]

Hello Paul.

max_len is set by the frontend. The buffer is allocated by the frontend
and the size of the buffer must be at least max_len bytes.

max_len and the size of the buffer are arbitary. The backend must be
able to handle each size from max_len=1 to max_len > size of the image.

Best regards
Oliver
