libssh2_base64_decode(3) libssh2 manual libssh2_base64_decode(3)

libssh2_base64_decode - decode a base64 encoded string

#include <libssh2.h>

int libssh2_base64_decode(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, char **dest, unsigned int *dest_len, const char *src, unsigned int src_len);

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!

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!

0 if successful, -1 if any error occurred.
23 Dec 2008 libssh2 1.0
