sc_base64_encode(3)

sc_base64_encode3

Encode a stream to base64

Usage

#include <opensc.h>
int sc_base64_encode(const unsigned char *inbuf, size_t inlen,
                     unsigned char *outbuf, size_t outlen,
                     size_t linelength);

Overview

This function encodes the buffer pointed to by inbuf of size inlen as base64, and stores the result in outbuf, which is outlen bytes long. A linefeed (\n) will be inserted every linelength bytes in the output buffer.

You must ensure outbuf has enough space to store the base64-encoded version of inbuf.

Return value

Returns 0 if successful, or a negative value in case of error.
