Function Documentation

unsigned char* base64_decode	(	const unsigned char *	src,
		size_t	len,
		size_t *	out_len
	)

Base64 decode.

Parameters:

src	Data to be decoded
len	Length of the data to be decoded
out_len	Pointer to output length variable

Returns:

Allocated buffer of out_len bytes of decoded data, or NULL on failure

Caller is responsible for freeing the returned buffer.

unsigned char* base64_encode	(	const unsigned char *	src,
		size_t	len,
		size_t *	out_len
	)

Base64 encode.

Parameters:

src	Data to be encoded
len	Length of the data to be encoded
out_len	Pointer to output length variable, or NULL if not used

Returns:

Allocated buffer of out_len bytes of encoded data, or NULL on failure

Caller is responsible for freeing the returned buffer. Returned buffer is nul terminated to make it easier to use as a C string. The nul terminator is not included in out_len.
