# NAME
libssh2_base64_decode - decode a base64 encoded string
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#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 in 1.0 and is 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'
is set to hold the length of the returned buffer that '*dest' points 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.
