💖 gnutls_srp_base64_decode2 — the girlies' guide to un-base64-ing your SRP data 💖

ok so this is a page from the gnutls manual, bestie. it's one function, it's small, it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_srp_base64_decode2 — an API function, and yes she IS serving API function energy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_srp_base64_decode2(const gnutls_datum_t * b64_data,
gnutls_datum_t * result);

ok so first things first, you gotta pull in the header, <gnutls/gnutls.h>, periodt. then you call her. that's the whole vibe.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • const gnutls_datum_t * b64_data — this one holds the encoded data. she's the mystery box, the locked vault, the "not me opening this" moment 🙈
  • gnutls_datum_t * result — and this? this is where the decoded data lies. it's the spot where the truth comes out, bestie. the decoded data literally lies there. sleeping. waiting for you. 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕

This function will decode the given encoded data. The decoded data will be allocated, and stored into result. And how does it decode, you ask? It will decode using the base64 algorithm as used in libsrp. that's the specific flavor, bestie, not just any base64, libsrp base64. iykyk.

You should use gnutls_free() to free the returned data. yes. seriously. don't be that girl who leaks memory. free your data, cleanse your soul, hydrate, moisturize 🧖‍♀️✨

⚠️ Warning! This base64 encoding is not the "standard" encoding, so do not use it for non-SRP purposes. no cap. she is NOT for general use, she is SRP-only, she is niche and she is fine with that 💀

💜 RETURNS 💜

0 on success, or an error code. that's it. that's the return. 0 = slay, error code = not slay, handle it accordingly 🔥
