.SH NAME
|
|
libssh2_base64_decode - decode a base64 encoded string
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <libssh2.h>
|
|
|
|
int libssh2_base64_decode(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, char **dest,
|
|
unsigned int *dest_len, const char *src,
|
|
unsigned int src_len);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function is deemed DEPRECATED and will be removed from libssh2 in a
|
|
future version. Don't use it!
|
|
|
|
Decode a base64 chunk and store it into a newly allocated buffer. 'dest_len'
|
|
will be set to hold the length of the returned buffer that '*dest' will point
|
|
to.
|
|
|
|
The returned buffer is allocated by this function, but it is not clear how to
|
|
free that memory!
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The memory that *dest points to is allocated by the malloc function libssh2
|
|
uses, but there's no way for an application to free this data in a safe and
|
|
reliable way!
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
0 if successful, \-1 if any error occurred.
