BOTAN(3em)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the BOTAN(3em) page, bestie — this is all about botan, the Botan bindings for Emilua. That's the main character of this manual page, and we're gonna get you comfy with it. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

           local botan = require "botan"

           botan.hex_decode(out_buffer: byte_span, input: byte_span|string, ignore_ws: boolean = true) -> byte_span (1)
           botan.hex_decode(input: byte_span|string, ignore_ws: boolean = true) -> byte_span (2)
           botan.hex_decode_locked(input: byte_span|string, ignore_ws: boolean = true) -> secure_byte_span (3)

Like, look at those three signatures — they're giving options, and all three keep ignore_ws: boolean = true as the default. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Literally the job here is to perform hex decoding. That's the whole quest. ✨

And if you're passing in an out_buffer, bestie, listen: it should have at least (#input / 2 + #input % 2) bytes. That's the requirement — no cap, fr fr. 🎀
