💖 gnutls_pem_base64_decode(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, page for gnutls_pem_base64_decode — it's an API function and it's literally here to un-scramble your PEM data. this is from the gnutls 3.8.13 docs, so you know it's fresh. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pem_base64_decode — API function

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_pem_base64_decode(const char * header, const gnutls_datum_t *
b64_data, unsigned char * result, size_t * result_size);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• const char * header — a null terminated string holding the PEM header, like, for example CERTIFICATE. yes it's literally the word that goes in the header, no cap.
• const gnutls_datum_t * b64_data — this is where the encoded data lives. the vibe-coded blob goes here 💅
• unsigned char * result — the spot where the decoded data gets copied. this is your output destination, main character energy ✨
• size_t * result_size — holds the size of the result. it's giving "how much room do we have / how much did we use" 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this function will decode the given encoded data. that's the whole job, and it ate.

if the header you pass in is non NULL, this function will search for "-----BEGIN header" and decode only that part. otherwise — meaning if you gave it a NULL header — it will decode the first PEM packet found. periodt.

---

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. and if the buffer you gave is not long enough, GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER is returned. or, you know, 0 on success. yes bestie, the manpage said success twice, and honestly? iconic. we respect the repetition 💀
