=head1 NAME
BIO_f_base64 - base64 BIO filter
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for openssl multiple includes
#include <openssl/bio.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const BIO_METHOD *BIO_f_base64(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
BIO_f_base64() returns the base64 BIO method. 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().
For writing, output is by default divided to lines of length 64
characters and there is always a newline at the end of output.
For reading, first line should be at most 1024
characters long. If it is longer then it is ignored completely.
Other input lines can be of any length. There must be a newline
at the end of input.
This behavior can be changed with BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL flag.
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().
For writing, it causes all data to be written on one line without
newline at the end.
For reading, it forces the decoder to process the data regardless
of newlines. All newlines are ignored and the input does not need
to contain any newline at all.
=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).
