libssh2 manual libssh2_base64_decode(3ssh2) NAME libssh2_base64_decode - decode a base64 encoded string SYNOPSIS #include <libssh2.h> int libssh2_base64_decode(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, char **dest, unsigned int *dest_len, const char *src, unsigned int src_len); 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! 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! RETURN VALUE 0 if successful, -1 if any error occurred.
