API function

## NAME

gnutls\_srp\_base64\_decode\_alloc - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/gnutls.h\>**

**int gnutls\_srp\_base64\_decode\_alloc(const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *b64\_data***, gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *result***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* b64\_data

  contains the encoded data

- gnutls\_datum\_t \* result

  the place where decoded data lie

## DESCRIPTION

This function will decode the given encoded data. The decoded data will be allocated, and stored into result.  It will decode using the base64 algorithm as used in libsrp.

You should use **gnutls\_free()** to free the returned data.
