  27  * qbase64_decode:
  28  * @input: the (possibly) base64 encoded text
  29  * @in_len: length of @input or -1 if NUL terminated
  30  * @out_len: filled with length of decoded data
  31  * @errp: pointer to a NULL-initialized error object
  32  *
  33  * Attempt to decode the (possibly) base64 encoded
  34  * text provided in @input. If the @input text may
  35  * contain embedded NUL characters, or may not be
  36  * NUL terminated, then @in_len must be set to the
  37  * known size of the @input buffer.
  38  *
  39  * Note that embedded NULs, or lack of a NUL terminator
  40  * are considered invalid base64 data and errors
  41  * will be reported to this effect.
  42  *
  43  * If decoding is successful, the decoded data will
  44  * be returned and @out_len set to indicate the
  45  * number of bytes in the decoded data. The caller
  46  * must use g_free() to free the returned data when
  47  * it is no longer required.
  48  *
  49  * Returns: the decoded data or NULL
