For example:
sane_control_option() is there so that frontends can tell the backends what the user wants to do. It's a very abstract interface and exactly what options are available is left to the discretion of each backend. So any security implications are not a result of sane_control_option() but of the set of options a particular backend chooses to provide. > [snip] Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON AVASYS Corporation, SE1 FSF Associate Member #1962 sign up at http://member.fsf.org/ GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
