libbase64

Библиотека на C для кодирования и декодирования base64 по умолчанию используется вариант RFC4648, но имеется возможность задать любой иной вариант алфавита кодирования

Не использует выделения памяти, работает с входным и выходным буферами, кодирует и декодирует данные целиком

Можно использовать не как библиотеку, а просто расположить base64.c и base64.h в дереве исходников вашего проекта.

Зависимости

• Заголовки
  • stdint.h
  • stddef.h
• C компилятор
  • C99 или C11

Установка и удаление

Глобально

make
sudo make install

Локально

make
make PREFIX=$HOME/.local install
make PREFIX=$HOME/.local uninstall

Независимо
