# make install

How To Use It

char *b32_encoded = base32_encode(unsigned char *input, size_t input_length, baseencode_error_t *err);

unsigned char *b32_decoded = base32_decode(char *input, size_t input_length, baseencode_error_t *err);

char *b64_encoded = base64_encode(unsigned char *input, size_t input_length, baseencode_error_t *err);

unsigned char *b64_decoded = base64_decode(char *input, size_t input_length, baseencode_error_t *err);

Please note that all the returned value must be freed once not needed any more.

Errors

In case of errors, NULL is returned and err is set to either one of:

INVALID_INPUT, EMPTY_STRING, INPUT_TOO_BIG, INVALID_B32_DATA, INVALID_B64_DATA, MEMORY_ALLOCATION,
