This is a filter -BIO that base64 encodes any data written through it and decodes -any data read through it. - -Base64 BIOs do not support BIO_gets() or BIO_puts(). - -BIO_flush() on a base64 BIO that is being written through is -used to signal that no more data is to be encoded: this is used -to flush the final block through the BIO. - -The flag BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL can be set with BIO_set_flags() -to encode the data all on one line or expect the data to be all -on one line. - -=head1 NOTES - -Because of the format of base64 encoding the end of the encoded -block cannot always be reliably determined. - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -BIO_f_base64() returns the base64 BIO method. - -=head1 EXAMPLES - -Base64 encode the string "Hello World\n" and write the result -to standard output: - - BIO *bio, *b64; - char message[] = "Hello World \n"; - - b64 = BIO_new(BIO_f_base64()); - bio = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE); - BIO_push(b64, bio); - BIO_write(b64, message, strlen(message)); - BIO_flush(b64); - - BIO_free_all(b64); - -Read Base64 encoded data from standard input and write the decoded -data to standard output: - - BIO *bio, *b64, *bio_out; - char inbuf[512]; - int inlen; - - b64 = BIO_new(BIO_f_base64()); - bio = BIO_new_fp(stdin, BIO_NOCLOSE); - bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE); - BIO_push(b64, bio); - while((inlen = BIO_read(b64, inbuf, 512)) > 0) - BIO_write(bio_out, inbuf, inlen); - - BIO_flush(bio_out); - BIO_free_all(b64); - -=head1 BUGS - -The ambiguity of EOF in base64 encoded data can cause additional -data following the base64 encoded block to be misinterpreted. - -There should be some way of specifying a test that the BIO can perform -to reliably determine EOF (for example a MIME boundary). - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -TBA |
