Base64Base64 — Base64 encoding and decoding |
gchar* gnet_base64_encode (gchar *src, gint srclen, gint *dstlenp, gboolean strict); gchar* gnet_base64_decode (gchar *src, gint srclen, gint *dstlenp);
gchar* binary_stream = "Hello World!"; gchar* base64_stream; gint base64_len; gchar* newbin_stream; gint newbin_len; base64_stream = gnet_base64_encode(binary_stream,strlen(binary_stream), &base64_len, FALSE); newbin_stream = gnet_base64_decode(base64_stream, base64_len, &newbin_len);
This module provides functions to encode and decode strings into the Base64 encoding specified in "RFC 2045 - MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)". The Base64 encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. A 65-character subset ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) of US-ASCII is used, enabling 6 bits to be represented per printable character.
gchar* gnet_base64_encode (gchar *src, gint srclen, gint *dstlenp, gboolean strict);
Convert a buffer from binary to base64 representation. Set strict to TRUE to insert a newline every 72th character. This is required by RFC 2045, but some applications don't require this.
src : | source buffer |
srclen : | length of the source buffer |
dstlenp : | length of the buffer returned (including the terminating \0) |
strict : | insert new lines as required by RFC 2045 |
Returns : | caller-owned buffer. |
gchar* gnet_base64_decode (gchar *src, gint srclen, gint *dstlenp);
Convert a buffer from base64 to binary representation. This function is liberal in what it will accept. It ignores non-base64 symbols.
src : | the source buffer |
srclen : | the length of the source buffer |
dstlenp : | pointer to length of the destination buffer |
Returns : | caller-owned buffer. The integer pointed to by dstlenp is set to the length of that buffer. |
