- .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.
