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 application
     to free this data in a safe and reliable way!

RETURN VALUE

     0 if successful, -1 if any error occurred.
