NAME

librock_base64decN - Decodes N bytes of MIME Base64 data.
#License - #Source code - #Example Use -

SYNOPSIS

#include <librock/parse.h>

int
librock_base64decN(
    const char *wptr.  /* Input buffer */
    int amt,     /* Bytes at input buffer.  Must be a multiple of 4 */
    char *optr;  /* Output buffer */
);

DESCRIPTION

Decodes the amt bytes at wptr, encoded as MIME Base 64. The input and output buffer pointers can be equal. The amt must be a multiple of 4.

Returns the number of characters stored at optr, which is normally 3, but may be less than 3 at the end of the encoded block if there was padding.

Typical use is

#ifdef librock_TYPICAL_USE_base64decN
    #include <stdio.h>
    char *wptr = "U29tZSBlbmNvZGVkIHN0cmluZw==";
    char *optr = wptr;
    if (strlen(wptr) % 4) {
        fprintf(stderr,"%s","bad input.  base64 encodings are always a multiple of 4\n");
    } else {
        char *result = wptr; /* In place */
        optr += librock_base64decN(wptr,strlen(wptr),optr);
        *optr = '\0';
        printf("%s\n",result);
    }
#endif
