'\" te .TH libssh2_base64_decode 3 "23 Dec 2008" "libssh2 1.0" "libssh2 manual" .SH NAME libssh2_base64_decode - decode a base64 encoded string .SH SYNOPSIS #include 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 appliction to free this data in a safe and reliable way! .SH RETURN VALUE 0 if successful, \-1 if any error occurred. .\" Oracle has added the ARC stability level to this manual page .SH ATTRIBUTES See .BR attributes (5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .TS box; cbp-1 | cbp-1 l | l .
