🌸 gsasl_base64_from(3) 🌸

okay bestie, so this is part of the gsasl manual (section 3, the library-function one, not the command one) and it's literally just this one little function that takes your Base64 nonsense and turns it back into actual bytes 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gsasl_base64_from — it's an API function, she's a real one, a whole function in the API, no cap 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_base64_from(const char * in, size_t inlen, char ** out, size_t
* outlen);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • const char * in — the input byte array babes, the raw stuff you're feeding in ✨
  • size_t inlen — how big that input byte array is, the size, the length, the whole vibe 📏
  • char ** out — pointer to a newly allocated output byte array. yes, she mallocs for you, she's generous like that 💖
  • size_t * outlen — pointer to the size of that newly allocated output byte array, so you know how much you got back 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

She decodes Base64 data. That's it, that's the job, and she ate 🔥

⚠️ CRUCIAL, DO NOT SKIP: the out buffer must be deallocated by the caller. that's you. you free it. not her. she's not your mom 😭

Return value: Returns GSASL_OK on success (slay 🎉), GSASL_BASE64_ERROR if the input was invalid (oop 🙈), and GSASL_MALLOC_ERROR on memory allocation errors (the malloc said no 💀).

🌈 SINCE 🌈

0.2.2 — she's been here a while, an icon, a legend, main character energy since day one 👑
