Function

GLibbase64_decode

Declaration 

guchar*
g_base64_decode (
  const gchar* text,
  gsize* out_len
)

Description

Decode a sequence of Base-64 encoded text into binary data. Note that the returned binary data is not necessarily zero-terminated, so it should not be used as a character string.

Available since:2.12

Parameters

text const gchar*
 

Zero-terminated string with base64 text to decode.
 The data is owned by the caller of the function.
 The string is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
out_len gsize*
 

The length of the decoded data is written here.
 The argument will be set by the function.
 The called function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Returns: An array of guint8
  
          newly allocated buffer containing the binary data
          that `text` represents. The returned buffer must
          be freed with g_free().
 The length of the array is in the out_len argument.
 The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
