This RPC is used to open a connection to a remote SANE device.
| request: | reply: |
| SANE_String device_name | SANE_Word status |
| SANE_Word handle | |
| SANE_String resource |
In the reply, status indicates the completion status. If the value is anything other than SANE_STATUS_SUCCESS, the remainder of the reply has undefined values. The handle argument specifies the device handle that uniquely identifies the connection. The resource argument is used to request authentication. If it has a non-NULL value, the network backend should authenticate the specified resource and then retry this operation (see Section 5.2.10 for details on how to authorize a resource).
