# libofx.h File Reference

## Detailed Description

Main header file containing the LibOfx API.

This file should be included for all applications who use this API. This header file will work with both C and C++ programs. The entire API is made of the following structures and functions.

All of the following ofx_proc_* functions are callbacks (Except ofx_proc_file which is the entry point). They must be implemented by your program, but can be left empty if not needed. They are called each time the associated structure is filled by the library.

Important note: The variables associated with every data element have a _valid companion. Always check that data_valid == true before using. Not only will you ensure that the data is meaningfull, but also that pointers are valid and strings point to a null terminated string. Elements listed as mandatory are for information purpose only, do not trust the bank not to send you non-conforming data...

CFCT typedef int(*) LibofxProcAccountCallback(const struct OfxAccountData data, void *account_data)

The callback function for the OfxAccountData stucture.

The ofx_proc_account_cb event is always generated first, to allow the application to create accounts or ask the user to match an existing account before the ofx_proc_statement and ofx_proc_transaction event are received. An OfxAccountData is passed to this event.

Note however that this OfxAccountData structure will also be available as part of OfxStatementData structure passed to ofx_proc_statement event, as well as a pointer to an arbitrary data structure.

Definition at line 310 of file libofx-0.9.0/inc/libofx.h.

CFCT typedef int(*) LibofxProcSecurityCallback(const struct OfxSecurityData data, void *security_data)

The callback function for the OfxSecurityData stucture.

An ofx_proc_security_cb event is generated for any securities listed in the ofx file. It is generated after ofx_proc_statement but before ofx_proc_transaction. It is meant to be used to allow the client to create a new commodity or security (such as a new stock type). Please note however that this information is usually also available as part of each OfxtransactionData. An OfxSecurityData structure is passed to this event, as well as a pointer to an arbitrary data structure.

Definition at line 366 of file libofx-0.9.0/inc/libofx.h.

CFCT typedef int(*) LibofxProcStatementCallback(const struct OfxStatementData data, void *statement_data)

The callback function for the OfxStatementData stucture.

The ofx_proc_statement_cb event is sent after all ofx_proc_transaction events have been sent. An OfxStatementData is passed to this event, as well as a pointer to an arbitrary data structure.

Definition at line 622 of file libofx-0.9.0/inc/libofx.h.

CFCT typedef int(*) LibofxProcStatusCallback(const struct OfxStatusData data, void *status_data)

The callback function for the OfxStatusData stucture.

An ofx_proc_status_cb event is sent everytime the server has generated a OFX STATUS element. As such, it could be received at any time(but not during other events). An OfxStatusData structure is passed to this event, as well as a pointer to an arbitrary data structure.

Definition at line 234 of file libofx-0.9.0/inc/libofx.h.

CFCT typedef int(*) LibofxProcTransactionCallback(const struct OfxTransactionData data, void *transaction_data)

The callback function for the OfxTransactionData stucture.

An ofx_proc_transaction_cb event is generated for every transaction in the ofx response, after ofx_proc_statement (and possibly ofx_proc_security is generated. An OfxTransactionData structure is passed to this event, as well as a pointer to an arbitrary data structure.

Definition at line 553 of file libofx-0.9.0/inc/libofx.h.
