  NAME

    sif_scan_pipe, sif_scan_pipe_nw - Transfers data from scanner to pipe

  LIBRARY

    Intergraph Devices Library libix.a

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/xio/xerr.h>

    #include <sys/xio/xio.h>

    int sif_scan_pipe(
      int channel ,
      int dcnt ,
      int timeout ,
      int *xfcnt );

    int sif_scan_pipe_nw(
      int channel ,
      int dcnt ,
      int timeout ,
      struct xiosb *xiosb ,
      int efn );

  PARAMETERS

    channel   An integer representing a Scanner Interface Channel (SIF)

    dcnt      The byte count to be transferred

    timeout   The time limit in 1/60-second intervals for the data transfer

    xfcnt     The number of bytes transferred

    xiosb     A pointer to an xiosb structure

    efn       The event flag number associated with the request

  DESCRIPTION

    The sif_scan_pipe() and sif_scan_pipe_nw() functions provide a mechanism
    for transferring data directly from the scanner to the scanner processing
    pipeline.  The specified Scanner Interface (SIF) channel will move the
    data.  The specified channel must have been opened with sif_open().

    The dcnt parameter indicates the byte count to be transferred and must be
    a multiple of the linewidth specified in sif_setup().

    The value of timeout indicates the time limit in 1/60-second intervals for
    the data transfer.  Any transfer that takes longer is aborted and an
    appropriate status is returned.  A timeout value of zero disables the
    timeout function.

    Upon completion of the synchronous request, xfcnt indicates the number of
    bytes transferred.

    The sif_scan_pipe_nw() function is the asynchronous version of
    sif_scan_pipe(), providing the same capability without waiting the request
    to complete.  The efn parameter is the event flag number associated with
    the request.  The xiosb parameter is a pointer to the xiosb structure
    updated when the request completes (see intro(3)).  The xfcnt member of
    the xiosb structure indicates the number of bytes transferred.

  RETURN VALUES

    Upon successful completion of the synchronous request, a value of 0 is
    returned.  Otherwise, one of the following failure codes is returned.

    If the XIO system accepts the asynchronous request, the request will
    return a value of 0.  Otherwise, XIO_FAILURE will be returned.  Upon
    completion of an accepted request, the status member of the xiosb
    structure will be set to 0 if successful, or one of the following failure
    codes if unsuccessful.

  ERRORS

    The sif_scan_pipe() and sif_scan_pipe_nw() functions will fail if one of
    the following is true:

    [XIO_FAILURE]
           The system does not contain the driver needed to support this
           request or efn is invalid.

    [SIF_CHANNEL_INVALID]
           The specified channel is beyond the maximum allowed.

    [SIF_CHANNEL_NOT_OPEN]
           The specified channel is not open for this process.

    [BAD_DATA_BUFFER_COUNT]
           The byte count is not a multiple of linewidth from sif_setup(3A).

    [SIF_CANCELED]
           The request was canceled with sif_cancel(3A) or sif_close(3A).

    [SIF_PIX_PER_LINE_ERROR]
           The scanner transmitted an incorrect number of pixels per scanline.

    [SIF_LINE_PER_SWATH_ERROR]

  sif_scan_pipe(3)                    CLIX                    sif_scan_pipe(3)



           The scanner transmitted an incorrect number of scanlines per swath.

    [SIF_RED_PARITY_ERROR]
           A parity error occurred on the red component input.

    [SIF_GREEN_PARITY_ERROR]
           A parity error occurred on the green component input.

    [SIF_BLUE_PARITY_ERROR]
           A parity error occurred on the blue component input.

    [SIF_CYCLE_ERROR]
           A hardware handshake error occurred on the transfer.

    [SIF_TIMEOUT]
           The timeout expired before the transfer completed.
