Parameters base64_encode
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
src |
const unsigned char * |
Source buffer containing bytes to be encoded into BASE-64 code. |
src_len |
size_t |
Number of bytes in source buffer to be encoded. |
dst |
char * |
Destination string buffer. |
dst_len |
size_t * |
Pointer to a variable containing the available size of the destination buffer in bytes. |
Parameters base64_decode
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
src |
const char * |
Source string containing BASE-64 encoded data. |
src_len |
size_t |
Number of bytes in the source buffer to be decoded. |
dst |
unsigned char * |
Destination byte buffer. |
dst_len |
size_t * |
Pointer to a variable containing the available size of the destination buffer in bytes. |
Return Value
| Type |
Description |
int |
Error information. -1 indicates success. |
Description
The function mg_base64_encode() encodes the source buffer into the destination buffer using BASE-64 encoding.
The function mg_base64_decode() reads a BASE-64 encoded source buffer and decodes it into the destination buffer.
Both functions return -1 on success.
If the destination buffer is not big enough, the functions return 0.
If the source buffer supplied to mg_base64_decode() contains invalid characters, the return value is the position of this character.
