libssh2_base64_decode - decode a base64 encoded string

#include <libssh2.h>

int libssh2_base64_decode(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, char **dest,

unsigned int *dest_len, const char *src,

unsigned int src_len);

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!

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!

0 if successful, \-1 if any error occurred.
