.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IR Enc16 ,
|
|
.I enc32
|
|
and
|
|
.I enc64
|
|
create null terminated strings. They return the size of the
|
|
encoded string (without the null) or -1 if the encoding fails.
|
|
The encoding fails if
|
|
.IR lim ,
|
|
the length of the output buffer, is too small.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IR Dec16 ,
|
|
.I dec32
|
|
and
|
|
.I dec64
|
|
return the number of bytes decoded or -1 if the decoding fails.
|
|
The decoding fails if the output buffer is not large enough or,
|
|
for base 32, if the input buffer length is not a multiple
|
|
of 8.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Encodefmt
|
|
can be used with
|
|
.IR fmtinstall (2)
|
|
and
|
|
.IR print (2)
|
|
to print encoded representations of byte arrays.
|
|
The verbs are
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B H
|
|
base 16 (i.e. hexadecimal). The default encoding is
|
|
in upper case. The
|
|
.B l
|
|
flag forces lower case.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B <
|
|
base 32
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B [
|
|
base 64 (same as MIME)
|
|
.PD
|
|
.PP
|
|
The length of the array is specified as
|
|
.IR f2 .
|
|
For example, to display a 15 byte array as hex:
|
|
.EX
|
|
|
|
char x[15];
|
|
|
|
fmtinstall('H', encodefmt);
|
|
print("%.*H\\n", sizeof x, x);
