Base64 encoding/decoding library for C (Base64C)
This is simple library for base64 encoding and decoding. It is simply intended for that and nothing more. There are no dependencies. It is written using C11.
Currently this library supports decoding of base64 strings with as well as without padding but can produce only strings with padding.
Compilation
To compile this library you have to run:
./configure make
Subsequent installation can be done with make install.
When you do not use distribution archive then you have to run initially
./bootstrap.
Usage
To use this library you need to include pkg-config package base64c into your
project. Then you can just include base64c.h header.
Documentation and available API is for now documented only in header itself. Please read comments in header.
Running tests
Base64C contains basic tests in directory tests. To run all tests you can just simply run:
make check
You can also run tests with Valgrind:
make check-valgrind
To run checks with just one specific Valgrind test such as memtest you can run:
make check-valgrind-memcheck
Source code of project can be also linted with cppcheck by running:
make lint
