Name

gnutls_pem_base64_decode_alloc — decode base64 encoded data

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_pem_base64_decode_alloc( const char * header,
  const gnutls_datum_t * b64_data,
  gnutls_datum_t * result);
 

ARGUMENTS

const char * header

The PEM header (eg. CERTIFICATE)

const gnutls_datum_t * b64_data

contains the encoded data

gnutls_datum_t * result

the place where decoded data lie

DESCRIPTION

This function will decode the given encoded data. The decoded data will be allocated, and stored into result. If the header given is non null this function will search for "−−−−−BEGIN header" and decode only this part. Otherwise it will decode the first PEM packet found.

You should use gnutls_free() to free the returned data.

RETURNS

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.
