Unless otherwise noted, all calls return a success/failure code and, except where indicated, such codes are prefixed with SW_PFIN_ERROR_ For example, SW_PFIN_SUCCESS (zero) means the operation was successful. SW_PFIN_ERROR_SYNTAX indicates a programming fault a null pointer, or an out-of-range argument. Additional error codes may be returned by some calls, and these are documented below the call description.
