PODSSymbolScanner calls

The table below lists each Scan Manager function and its corresponding PODSSymbolScanner syntax.

In C, each PODSSymbolScanner method takes one more argument than its Scan Manager counterpart and that is the pointer to the PODSSymbolScanner object, which is always the first parameter.
