libssh2_base64_decode(3)	    libssh2	      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. Do not	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 is no way for an	application to free this  data
       in a safe and reliable way!

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