ZMQ_Z85_DECODE(3)

💖 ZMQ_Z85_DECODE(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the 0MQ Manual — we're decoding some Z85 up in here and it's gonna be adorable. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

zmq_z85_decode — decode a binary key from Z85 printable text 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uint8_t *zmq_z85_decode (uint8_t *dest, const char *string);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like. zmq_z85_decode() shall decode string into dest. that's the whole job, bestie, and it eats. 🍓

the length of string shall be divisible by 5. no exceptions, no vibes-based math, it's giving strict. 🙈

and dest must be large enough for the decoded value — which is 0.8 x strlen (string). size it right or suffer the consequences, iykyk. 💀

the encoding shall follow the ZMQ RFC 32 specification. periodt. ⭐

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

zmq_z85_decode() shall return dest if successful. and if it's not successful? it shall return NULL. that's it, that's the whole mood. 💜

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

decoding a CURVE key, because we love a cryptographic moment:

const char decoded [] = "rq:rM>}U?@Lns47E1%kR.o@n%FcmmsL/@{H8]yf7";
uint8_t public_key [32];
zmq_z85_decode (public_key, decoded);

ate. no crumbs. ✨
