Hello,
it seems to me that the "read-length-zero" will only work for the first
read of the first scan. If the frontend keeps the backend dll loaded, the
option won't work for the next scans. Returning a zero length from sane_read
must depend on the set blocking mode. See section 4.3.10 of the SANE's
standard?
Regarding this help text of the option, there isn't any requirement on
the content of the buffer when a zero length is returned.
Regards,
Stef
