libbase64 -- Base64 encoding and decoding ========================================= Introduction ------------ Base64 encoding and decoding easily in pure C99. Features -------- - base64 encoding, - base64 decoding (with base64url support), - no dynamic allocation required, - only C99 required. - less than 200 lines of code. Quick overview -------------- Encode data. We use -1 to read until end of input string. char encoded[128]; size_t size; size = b64_encode("Hello world!", -1, encoded, sizeof (encoded)); Decode data. As with previous example, we use -1 to read until enf of base64 input string. char decoded[128]; size_t size; size = b64_decode("ABx=", -1, decoded, sizeof (decoded)); Note: don't discard return value, in contrast to `b64_encode` the output buffer isn't NUL terminated as it may contain binary data. Documentation ------------- See the `libbase64(3)` manual page.
