GALANTHUS / ABI FUNCTION REFERENCE

gln_send_ebics_ini

Declared in <galanthus/c_api/gln_capi.h>.

GLN_API gln_status_t GLN_CALL gln_send_ebics_ini(
    gln_backend_t*         in_backend,
    gln_backend_result_t** out_result);
  • Family: Backend operations
  • Return type: gln_status_t

Purpose

gln_send_ebics_ini sends the EBICS INI order containing the subscriber signature key.

When To Use

Run this during initial EBICS onboarding after opening the backend and before generating or submitting the INI brief to the bank.

Call Contract

GLN_OK from the function means an envelope was produced in *out_result; it does not mean the backend operation succeeded. Inspect the envelope with gln_get_backend_result_outcome, gln_get_backend_result_status, and gln_get_backend_result_kind.

out_result == NULL is the no-envelope invalid-argument case. In that case the function returns GLN_ERR_INVALID_ARG directly.

The parameter table is binding for required handles and output slots.

Return

Returns GLN_OK when the call produced a gln_backend_result_t envelope in out_result. Operation success, caller action, provider rejection, and operation errors are reported inside that envelope.

Success Result

Successful operation envelopes have outcome GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_SUCCESS, status GLN_OK, and kind GLN_BACKEND_RESULT_KIND_OPAQUE_JSON.

Borrow the typed success view with gln_get_backend_result_opaque_json.

Use gln_get_backend_result_opaque_json only when the envelope outcome is GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_SUCCESS and the kind is GLN_BACKEND_RESULT_KIND_OPAQUE_JSON.

Success envelopes use GLN_BACKEND_RESULT_KIND_OPAQUE_JSON and carry EBICS status fields in the JSON payload.

Outcomes

  • GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_SUCCESS: read the opaque JSON payload with gln_get_backend_result_opaque_json.
  • GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_REJECTED: inspect gln_get_backend_result_status and gln_get_backend_result_error for EBICS rejection details.
  • GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_ERROR: inspect gln_get_backend_result_status and gln_get_backend_result_error. Non-EBICS backends use this outcome with status GLN_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

INI sends client signature-key material and does not produce a continuation.

Ownership And Lifetime

The envelope returned through out_result is caller-owned and must be released with gln_destroy_backend_result.

Typed views, result rows or fields, borrowed strings, and the JSON string are borrowed from the envelope. They become invalid when the envelope is destroyed. Copy strings or row data before destroying the envelope when the caller needs to keep them.
