B64_F_LINE_LEN_MASK	Mask for testing line length flags to b64_encode2(). Ignored by b64_encode2().
B64_F_STOP_ON_NOTHING	Decoding ignores all invalid characters in the input data. Ignored by b64_encode2().

B64_F_STOP_ON_BAD_CHAR	Causes decoding to break if any non-Base-64 [a-zA-Z0-9=+/] character is encountered. Ignored by b64_encode2().

enum B64_RC

Return codes (from b64_encode2() / b64_decode2())

Enumerator
B64_RC_OK	Operation was successful.
B64_RC_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER	The given translation buffer was not of sufficient size.
B64_RC_TRUNCATED_INPUT	The input did not represent a fully formed stream of octet couplings.
B64_RC_DATA_ERROR	Invalid data.

Function Documentation

size_t b64_decode	(	char const *	src,
		size_t	srcLen,
		void *	dest,
		size_t	destSize
	)

Decodes a sequence of Base-64 into a block of binary data.

Parameters

src	Pointer to the Base-64 block to be decoded. May not be NULL, except when `dest` is NULL, in which case it is ignored. If `dest` is NULL, and `src` is not NULL, then the returned value is calculated exactly, otherwise a value is returned that is guaranteed to be large enough to hold the decoded block.
srcLen	Length of block to be encoded. Must be an integral of 4, the Base-64 encoding quantum, otherwise the Base-64 block is assumed to be invalid
dest	Pointer to the buffer into which the result is to be written. May be NULL, in which case the function returns the required length
destSize	Length of the buffer into which the result is to be written. Must be at least as large as that indicated by the return value from `b64_decode(src, srcSize, NULL, 0)`, even in the case where the encoded form contains a number of characters that will be ignored, resulting in a lower total length of converted form.

Returns: 0 if the size of the buffer was insufficient, or the length of the converted buffer was longer than destSize

Note: The function returns the required length if dest is NULL. The returned size might be larger than the actual required size, but will never be smaller.; The behaviour of both b64_encode2() and b64_decode2() are undefined if the line length is not a multiple of 4.; Threading: The function is fully re-entrant.

See also: b64::decode()

size_t b64_decode2	(	char const *	src,
		size_t	srcLen,
		void *	dest,
		size_t	destSize,
		unsigned	flags,
		char const **	badChar,
		B64_RC *	rc
	)

Decodes a sequence of Base-64 into a block of binary data.

Parameters

src	Pointer to the Base-64 block to be decoded. May not be NULL, except when `dest` is NULL, in which case it is ignored. If `dest` is NULL, and `src` is not NULL, then the returned value is calculated exactly, otherwise a value is returned that is guaranteed to be large enough to hold the decoded block.
srcLen	Length of block to be encoded. Must be an integral of 4, the Base-64 encoding quantum, otherwise the Base-64 block is assumed to be invalid
dest	Pointer to the buffer into which the result is to be written. May be NULL, in which case the function returns the required length
destSize	Length of the buffer into which the result is to be written. Must be at least as large as that indicated by the return value from `b64_decode(src, srcSize, NULL, 0)`, even in the case where the encoded form contains a number of characters that will be ignored, resulting in a lower total length of converted form.
flags	A combination of the B64_FLAGS enumeration, that moderate the behaviour of the function.
rc	The return code representing the status of the operation. May be NULL.
badChar	If the flags parameter does not contain B64_F_STOP_ON_NOTHING, this parameter specifies the address of a pointer that will be set to point to any character in the sequence that stops the parsing, as dictated by the flags parameter. May be NULL.

Returns: 0 if the size of the buffer was insufficient, or the length of the converted buffer was longer than destSize, or a bad character stopped parsing.

Note: The function returns the required length if dest is NULL. The returned size might be larger than the actual required size, but will never be smaller.; The behaviour of both b64_encode2() and b64_decode2() are undefined if the line length is not a multiple of 4.; Threading: The function is fully re-entrant.

size_t b64_encode	(	void const *	src,
		size_t	srcSize,
		char *	dest,
		size_t	destLen
	)

Encodes a block of binary data into Base-64.

Parameters

src	Pointer to the block to be encoded. May not be NULL, except when `dest` is NULL, in which case it is ignored.
srcSize	Length of block to be encoded
dest	Pointer to the buffer into which the result is to be written. May be NULL, in which case the function returns the required length
destLen	Length of the buffer into which the result is to be written. Must be at least as large as that indicated by the return value from b64_encode(NULL, srcSize, NULL, 0).

Returns: 0 if the size of the buffer was insufficient, or the length of the converted buffer was longer than destLen

Note: The function returns the required length if dest is NULL; The function returns the required length if dest is NULL. The returned size might be larger than the actual required size, but will never be smaller.; Threading: The function is fully re-entrant.

size_t b64_encode2	(	void const *	src,
		size_t	srcSize,
		char *	dest,
		size_t	destLen,
		unsigned	flags,
		int	lineLen,
		B64_RC *	rc
	)

Encodes a block of binary data into Base-64.

Parameters

src	Pointer to the block to be encoded. May not be NULL, except when `dest` is NULL, in which case it is ignored.
srcSize	Length of block to be encoded
dest	Pointer to the buffer into which the result is to be written. May be NULL, in which case the function returns the required length
destLen	Length of the buffer into which the result is to be written. Must be at least as large as that indicated by the return value from b64_encode2(NULL, srcSize, NULL, 0, flags, lineLen, rc).
flags	A combination of the B64_FLAGS enumeration, that moderate the behaviour of the function
lineLen	If the flags parameter contains B64_F_LINE_LEN_USE_PARAM, then this parameter represents the length of the lines into which the encoded form is split, with a hard line break ('\r\n'). If this value is 0, then the line is not split. If it is <0, then the RFC-1113 recommended line length of 64 is used
rc	The return code representing the status of the operation. May be NULL.

Returns: 0 if the size of the buffer was insufficient, or the length of the converted buffer was longer than destLen

Note: The function returns the required length if dest is NULL. The returned size might be larger than the actual required size, but will never be smaller.; Threading: The function is fully re-entrant.
