It's in the assembler header files for MPW.  The whole set can be
obtained using anonymous ftp from apple.com.  You want
/pub/dts/mac/mpw/aincludes.hqx.  Extract "SANEMacs.a" from this and
you should have all the info you need.

I don't know why nobody seems to put the SANE interface info in C and
Pascal header files.  A couple of times, I wished the MPW folks had
done so.
