libssh2_base64_decode(3)	libssh2 manual	      libssh2_base64_decode(3)

NAME
       libssh2_base64_decode - decode a base64 encoded string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       int libssh2_base64_decode(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, char **dest,
				 unsigned int *dest_len, const char *src,
				 unsigned int src_len);

DESCRIPTION
       This  function is deemed DEPRECATED and will be removed from libssh2 in
       a future version. Don't use it!

       Decode a base64 chunk and store	it  into  a  newly  allocated  buffer.
       'dest_len'  will	 be set to hold the length of the returned buffer that
       '*dest' will point to.

       The returned buffer is allocated by this function, but it is not	 clear
       how to free that memory!

BUGS
       The  memory  that  *dest	 points to is allocated by the malloc function
       libssh2 uses, but there's no way for an appliction to free this data in
       a safe and reliable way!

RETURN VALUE
       0 if successful, -1 if any error occurred.
