yaz_scan — Prepares for a scan
This function prepares for a Z39.50 Scan Request on the specified connection.
To actually transfer the Scan Request to the server and receive the Scan Response, yaz_wait() must be called. Upon completion of yaz_wait() call yaz_error() and yaz_scan_result() to handle the response.
idThe connection resource returned by yaz_connect().
type
       Currently only type rpn is supported.
      
starttermStarting term point for the scan.
       The form in which the starting term is specified is given by parameter
       type.
      
       The syntax this parameter is similar to the RPN query as described in
       yaz_search(). It consists of zero or more 
       @attr-operator specifications, then followed by 
       exactly one token.
      
flags
       This optional parameter specifies additional information to control 
       the behaviour of the scan request. Three indexes are currently read 
       from the flags array:
       number (number of terms requested),
       position (preferred position of term) and
       stepSize (preferred step size).
