Function Documentation

gchar* base64_decode (  const gchar *  buf, guint  len, guint *  outlen )

Decode `len' bytes starting at `buf' into new allocated buffer. Returns: the new decoded buffer, or NULL if the input was not valid base64 encoding. The caller knows the length of the returned buffer: it's the size of the input divided by 4 and multiplied by 3. If `outlen' is non-NULL, it is filled with the amount of bytes decoded into the buffer (without trailing padding).

guint base64_decode_into (  const gchar *  buf, guint  len, gchar *  decbuf, guint  declen )

Decode `len' bytes from `buf' into `declen' bytes starting from `decbuf'. Caller must have ensured that there was sufficient room in decbuf. Returns: the amount of bytes decoded (without trailing padding) if successful, 0 if the input was not valid base64.

gchar* base64_encode (  const gchar *  buf, guint  len, guint *  retpad )

Encode `len' bytes starting at `buf' into new allocated buffer. Trailing padding chars are emitted. Returns: the new encoded buffer, NUL-terminated, and the added amount of padding chars in `retpad' if it is a non-NULL pointer.

void base64_encode_into (  const gchar *  buf, guint  len, gchar *  encbuf, guint  enclen )

Encode `len' bytes from `buf' into `enclen' bytes starting from `encbuf'. Trailing padding chars are emitted. Caller must have ensured that there was enough room in encbuf. Attention: NB: No trailing NUL is emitted.
